The car park is free for National Trust members. I love climbing but I don't like heights....confusing I know! I really enjoyed this short climb but I found myself on a small scramble which got my blood pumping a little!

Nice and easy with great views. Took the wrong route down and it was VERY steep :)

Bunster Hill has some spectacular views from the ridge, especially those of neighbouring Thorpe Cloud. While the masses descend on Thorpe Cloud it's nice to visit the much quieter Bunster Hill, the summit of which is in a delightful shady woodland. We parked in the NT Dove Dale car park and did a circular via Thorpe Cloud up to Bunster Hill via a short scramble.

The summit of Musden Low and the trig point are on private land but can be seen from the Open Access Land adjacent. There are four ancient burial mounds on or near the summit of the hill.

Minninglow is a beautiful spot. The hilltop is surrounded by trees, and in a clearing at the top are a neolithic burial chamber and two bronze age burial mounds. The summit is accessed via a concessionary path from the High Peak Trail.

At the time of writing, the National Trust has erected signs informing people that the summit is closed due to erosion and the risk of falling rocks. There is no date set for when the path to the summit may reopen (hopefully soon). The path around the hill is still open and affords spectacular views itself.
