Kensgriff at 574m has a small cairn / pile of stones atop. From here, there are fabulous views, particularly of the higher Yarlside (639m) and its rather dramatic slopes. Randygill Top is nearby to the north, and you will see Green Bell on the horizon, too, if the weather is good and allows proper visibility.

Hiking

At 574 metres, Kensgriff is nice interim hill between Yarlside to the south and Randygill Top to the north. It has beautiful views to both peaks on a nice day.
