Access to this hill is via the track located at A (Q91887 65702) and although you are greeted with a large "No Trespassing " sign on the farm gate leading to the summit of this hill it is well worth the effort to get permission. the views are exceptional. The ruins of a Napoleonic Signal Tower can be viewed at the summit constructed circa 1810 demolished circa 1960 . But the farmer may not be all that hard to deal with as someone has kindly made steps with modern blocks to help cross the electric fence close to the summit B (Q90947 65896).
