Local access and parking details
This is the practical starting point for the ascent, rather than parking randomly along the A42 or nearby farm entrances. The mountain path is exposed, with slopes that can be slippery, so its car park location matters when planning the return.
Before you go
Use the recognised trail start and take care not to obstruct agricultural access.
