Parked in the very large pub car park in Worston - As nickywood1, NE along track, through left-hand & then a climb NW over short grass & bits of exposed limestone to grassy summit.gerrybowes09/03/2024
1/2 Parked at Worston and walked through pretty village to access footpath alongside the brook. Continue till you come to two big gates, and the one on left leads you neatly upto the summit of the ridge no need to climb any fences. Then return, over little foot bridge, continue on brook side path to gain access to Worsaw Hill from it's steel end (I went slightly left to make it a bit easier) and sauntered down North West from it to find easy paths back. Then coffee in the beer garden of the nice pub in the village. A pleasant hour and half, next stop the castle in Clitheroe.nickywood109/04/2023
As others have done, we parked by the pub took the first public footpath on the left,, climbed up to the right and over 2 barbed wire fences. Dull November day.Lazylizzie27/11/2022

Parked in the car park at Downham, followed RoW to base of Worsaw Hill, then up the steep side to the lovely grassy summit with its cairn, then further along the RoW to Worston and up FP, over BWF and the few metres to the top of the Ridge.

1st of 5 hills today with Lesley on a circular route from Sabden We started in Sabden not realising that there was no Sunday Service for buses to Clitheroe so we walked the 3 1/2 miles to Clitheroe then indulged with coffee and food in Costa before continuing on a fp alongside Worston Brook, across A671 and then A59 to Worston. I explored the summit of Crow Hill while Lesley took fp around the base. We both climbed the fence where a large Ash tree's branch aids the climb over. It is a short pull up to the ridge of 'the Ridge'. I marked waypoints @ 149 at GR SD76967 43097 and @ 150m, further North @ SD76971 43206. Continuing on to Worsaw Hill via Warren Hill.....Dazingdale15/10/2017

Parked at sharp bend at NE end of Worston, start of bridleway. Followed this until open access to hill on left. Summit grassy with three bumps of similar height. The N one has a little crag to W and feels more like a 'ridge'. Nearby Crow Hill similar height with barbed wire fence to cross to reach it.Aye Jimmy05/06/2014
The Ridge, 149 metres and a P31 hill with a view to Crow Hill which looks a very similar height. Photos of both on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79063372@N04/8442008150/in/set-72157630989750070/Dugswell203/02/2013
