It rises to 1,699 feet (518 m) and is a majestic point on this long and rambling ridge. Its terrain is moorland, with cotton grass bobbing in the wind and far reaching views across the diverse landscapes and folded hills.

    It's a little exposed here so have a coat at the ready as the wind even on a warm day can cut through you.
