This is a great hiking path that starts at White Coppice cricket club that takes you up past Joe Whitter, the fell runner’s memorial, and onwards up to Great Hill and the summit rest area. Here you will find a stone cross seating area. There are stunning views to be had over to Winter Hill, the North Wales hills, and the Irish Sea on a fine day. Be advised that the path is quite rocky, so it is best to wear a decent set of footwear.
