Fire Risk in the Peaks: There have been numerous fires in the Peaks. These fires not only kill the ground level vegetation but also can go deep underground and destroy the underlying peat. There are signs all around the Peak District indicating that naked flames be they fires, barbecues, stoves or indeed any naked flames are banned in the Peak District. There is a hefty fine if these rules are broken. Take care when out walking and protect the Peaks. [July 2026]

Walk to Trig Point
There are two potential routes. The first is to walk through either of the two farms and onto the trig point. You need to ask permission prior to embarking on this route. The second would be to walk through Blacka Plantation; but there are no paths around. Due to the lack of a path or an easy way to get to this trig point, combined with the trig point being on enclosed ground, no route is described in detail.
