Parked on road at west at barrier. Foreground and midground approaching bing have been cleared and bulldozed. Mid ground has some holes in ground upto ten feet deep. Tread carefully or pack potholing gear. Good view.colazione15/08/2023

Park at entrance. A fine bing. Should put Coalburn on the map.Thearlaichdubh24/12/2018
A spoil tip which nature is reclaiming for a nice amenity hill. It will be even better when they remove and prevent local fly dumping.Topographer5702/09/2018

As Chris. Still a mess at the bottom, but enjoyable on top.agentmancuso04/03/2017
Parked to the WNW then used a direct route to the bing's summit. It still looks an artificial hill to me but it does make a grand view point even on a grey morning.Dugswell228/12/2016
