stretchyboy saw from a distance on 19th Jun 2020 - their rating: Access: 3 I'm doing an adventure at the moment as part of my healing of a badly broken leg, heading to all the access 5 sites in my area. Apparently you can use right to roam to get to this site. But how is that Access 5, I'm going to suggest that a Short walk is under half a mile (which I think this is) but there is no path. So I suggest this is a 3.

Wardlow Hay Cop
Wardlow Hay Cop submitted by Jonik : Taken from a small layby on the right-hand side of the B6465, after leaving Wardlow in the direction of Little Longstone, where the road reaches a rise. There are not many stopping places on the local roads and this one is in close proximity to the Rolley Low barrows too. (Vote or comment on this photo)
