Snailsden Pike End is situated high on the grouse moors above Winscar and Snailsden reservoirs. You can access the trig from either, with the shorter and easier route being from near Snailsden reservoir where there is a small layby to park in. Coming up from Winscar it's a longer climb along Snailsden Edge before following a faint path off through the heather. The site is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and there is a sign on the Snailsden gate saying dogs aren't allowed.

Be sure to wear appropriate footwear for this one! The moors get very boggy.
