Part of the West Pennine Moors, so plenty bog around, well pathed from white coppice and over spitlers edge. One of my favorite local hills. Views over to Darwen Tower (aka The Rocket) as well as Winter Hill and Rivington Pike. Can be approached from a few different directions. Nice summit shelter for a brew and lunch!
