A little excursion on my birthday to bag some nice local hills: Mellor Moor, Stanley Hill, Billinge Hill and Revidge. Some nice dramatic views on a sunny autumn afternoon.Lazylizzie19/11/2022

Parked on Revidge Rd,about 1/2 mile away. Surprised by the view and by the deer on top.Andrew Pearson04/03/2020
Walked over from Billinge Hill with Alfie. I'm sure this must have been a nice hill once (about 200 years ago!). The summit, above the topograph, is now fenced off! It's easy to step over but I was confronted by the owner who ran up to shout at me for trespassing!Dangerous Dave03/02/2020

As ADT. First light Sunday morning. Big misty views which were a surprise as Revidge Rd itself is not that scenic.Campbell Singer02/09/2018
Between house to Topograph, and earth bank.PeterD09/04/2018
Solo. Parked on Revidge Rd. Gained access to the summit via a ginnel between No 389 & a white house (No 391?). There's a broken sign post on the other side of the road. Standing on the banking gives sight of Deepdale & Ewood Park!ADT01/04/2018

1st Hill of 7 today. I had stayed overnight in Blackburn and wandered around the centre enjoying the generally friendly vibe, bought a New compass in Trespass (apt I thought considering yesterday's adventures!)Up through urban streets with children making snowmen, through the grand looking Corporation park, then up through a cobbled footpath to a winter wonderland and summit just behind the snow-covered toposcope. Walked a short distance on another footpath before looping back through public access back onto Revidge road, heading towards Billinge Hill....Dazingdale09/12/2017

No easy grab for me, came from Mellor Moor on waterlogged farm paths. Bitten in buttock by a dog on one of the farms. Reported to dog warden.Martin R07/02/2017
My dad grew up on the very steep terraced streets below here and remembers 'The Tank' and climbing as a boy up iron steps to the top of the big water tank (which was demolished in 2001). Today he waited in the car as I went up the path to enjoy the sharp autumnal views of hills including The Bowland Fells and Ingleborough. These fine views earned the tank the nickname of Blackburn Pier. In 1879 when the tank was being inserted a bronze age urn of cremated human bones was found buried 4 feet down- inverted -signifying a female burial.Chris Pearson02/11/2016
Footpath clear today.Good views north.With Oscar.catman13/01/2016

Footpath still overgrown. Surprising considering the number of people up there & the piles of litter. Last of Blackburn with Darwen.ngthack04/10/2015
Ramsgreave to Blackburn. Descended via DG's steep cobbled street - quite slippy at this time of year.Smudge03/01/2015
Barely 100m walk via an overgrown footpath from the S, to sudden arrival at topo in long grass with 'The Tank' inscribed. Also its 'World position' given in degrees, minutes, seconds and height in feet. The summit is a few metres above this on grassy banking.Aye Jimmy26/07/2014
Levelled area above topograph: 50,000 gallon water tank 1897 since removed.. From S alley to ridge r/o houses, public access RHW15/12/2012
Short walk from the road with very fine views to Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales. Noted there was a lot of litter around, quite a shame some people have no respect for nature.Jake99408/12/2012
summit area known locally as "The Tank"George Gradwell31/07/2012
Parked just inside blocked off side-street (Brantee Drive) at SD67584 29347. Before bagging the hill it's worth walking the short distance to the metal posts for a look down this incredibly steep cobbled street. Summit is left along road for c100m then right on public footpath through houses.David Gradwell25/02/2012
