Parked in the layby at 78122 18627, up the road a short way to row, up that and skirted military area to Bull Hill. Down the far side, across a boggy area on the paved path then bee line across fairly wet but not too difficult heathery moor to Scholes Height.clivevilla12/09/2023
Parked by the cattle grid at the road end near Crowthorne: space for a car by the rocks. Bull Hill (trig, summit and alternative county top) and Scholes Height. Felt a bit daft walking in wellies over the flagstones to Bull Hill, but very smug on the crossing to Scholes Height as the ground is very wet.PGCE30/08/2023
Walking West Pennine Way, no flags so straight over the top.burwellian28/05/2023
From layby on B6214. Walked up via Rossendale Way then over summit on paths shown on explorer map to Pilgrim's Cross at Buckden Wood. Back down through Buckden Wood. This made a good walk with good distant views today, and gave time to include another Hump (Great Hameldon) in the day. With Pete.pwheeler19/03/2023

Cancelled trains, bus driver missing a turn and Red flags conspired to make this nice little jaunt later in the day and I missed the first half of Burnley v Leicester. The hill was pretty good for a short one, though.IanHHill14/04/2018

4th tump of 6 today & 5th log, having climbed Turton Heights, Rushy Hill and Rushton's Height, then traverse across access land to then climb to Scholes Height boundary continuing SE to reach footpath (although I didnt really notice a path as such). No Red flags flying! Climbed direct up to Trig pillar and then walked around a bit before continuing SW over Black Mosss heading for Top of Quarlton....Dazingdale26/11/2017

Lovely clear cold day . From east . Layby south of wood then path just north of wood onto open moor.Mark Sims29/11/2016
Ample parking beyond the cattle grid at the end of the lane east from Crowthorn Village (alt 1164ft). A good track leads up to the open moorland then, often soggily, across to a footpath notice in the middle of nowhere! If you can reach this a path leads from here to the top. 2.35 miles return (including Scholes Heights), 70 minutes, 291 ft ascent.moorsman21/10/2016
With Jo, circular walk from Crowthorn: road, b/w, moorland to Scholes Height, then moorland to Bull Hill, onto Peel Tower (excellent views from top), returning along b/w past Lark Hill. Weather; sunny, warm, good visibility.amblerbob29/08/2016
Last top on Bromley Cross- Peel Tower - Entwistle walk. Weather now truly foul, and walking off the top across the bog difficult with only a boundary post to use as a guide.JOHNS20/08/2016
