What a crowded summit (M5070541315 starA) for such a small hill. We have 1 trig 4 transmitters 1 wooden cross and a Millennium Project by the people of the parish which includes a memorial a steel cross and St Bernard's well so no access problems and at the entrance to the summit area (M5052241138 starB) a reservoir.
