Hatch-a-way submitted by postman : Hatch a way cairn (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Derbyshire

There is no footpath all the way to the top, but a short detour is I feel tolerated by any landowners. The cairn is about a metre high, and is mostly grassed over apart from the outer layer of cairn material, making it look like a ring cairn.
The views are extremely easy on the eye, right next to Parkhouse hill, an old coral reef, not far west is Chrome hill, and other cairned hills are all around, when we were there it was dusk the day before the equinox and the moon was at its nearest for umpteen years. It was very cool!
