Parked at one of the places on the one way road round the base of the hill and joined the half term crowds walking up the hill. Visited Trig Point then along paths to the NNW and into conifers to find high spot beside a conifer close to a circle of tree stumps used to sit down. Pleasant enough seeing some snow melt at this low altitude from earlir in the week. | nickywood1 | 11/02/2024 |
From the Sheepfold car park to SW, up path to trig point & then E. to junction with a well-worn trod/path at SD 56977 42874 - SE along trod into conifers & up to summit where trees & saplings are more tightly packed. | gerrybowes | 05/12/2023 |
From car park to the east on a murky morning. I visited the indeterminate high point in trees then crossed rough brash and tussocks to join the path to the trig, a much finer spot | Colin Crawford | 20/11/2023 |
With Chris, Christine, Eric, Geoff, and Steve on the third day of our own C2C from Fleetwood to Scarborough. Today's route took us from Brockmill to Jeffrey's Hill via a misty and murky Beacon Fell, an ascent of Parlick in the rain, and also the delightful village of Chipping. 19km with 700m ascent taking 6h 30m. | silveracorn_alan | 16/02/2023 |

Celebrated my 600th fell with my family on this fell; chosen because my husband could get to the top using a Tramper mobility vehicle and my grandson aged 18months could walk with us. I wanted to reach 600 before turning 60 in July. | flockwatcher | 27/06/2019 |

Circular walk from the visitor centre. Ground so wet and boggy we had to change route and stick to the roads. Lovely views of a snow covered Parlick on the way up, but not too much to see at the summit once the mist had come down. | Lazylizzie | 20/01/2018 |
By torch light in pitch black under frosty starlit skies. The HP is a trig with embedded brass plaque topograph on top, set within circles of cobbles , in a grassy clearing amongst pines. We followed the cobbled track from the car park by the visitors' centre ( pay and display before 5 pm) . I recall this hill from childhood holidays with my Grandad so this is probably a reascent. | Denise | 06/01/2018 |
A visit in darkness so didn't see a lot. Trig point at summit. | RichardM | 06/01/2018 |
