From the car park cross the fence at the stile and then follow the marked fenceline to stay on the easement across the farmers land. From here the trail pretty much just heads directly up the side of the hill on the well marked but quite rough trail till you gain the main ridge.
Here the gradient eases slightly but still remains challenging. Continue following the obvious trail up the main ridge and admire the 360 degree views as they are revealed. The ridge eases off for a section and then steepens again for one final push to the top.
Enjoy the views that rival Roy's Peak but without the crowds and then retutn the same way.
This trail includes the peak Peak Hill .
There are a couple of Interpretation panels along the way outlining the geographical and cultural history of the area.
Park in the flat area on the grass on the side of the road. There does not appear to be broken glass etc but this is fairly remote so not too many people around to keep and eye on your car. No public transport.
