Did You Know?

  • •The hill is 'triple-classified', meeting the specific prominence requirements to be a Marilyn (150m), a Hump (100m), and a Tump (30m) simultaneously.
  • •At 470 metres, the ascent usually begins from near sea level, meaning walkers must tackle the full vertical height through terrain often dominated by peat moorland and rough heather.
