If you've climbed from the Rivington or Belmont side, there is a very small car park where you can stop, grab a drink, a bit of food and take in the views. On a clear day, the view over to the mast and over towards Chorley is brilliant.

Nice climb and great views on a clear day, but watch out for the lunatic drivers
