From the top of Beacon Hill you can see the dramatic northern escarpment of the moors, stretching away to Roseberry Topping. Fantastic views, and there is quite an easy track directly down Scarth Wood Moor to Sheep Wash car park.

More spectacular views. The approach from the west is easier with a more gentle incline than the approach from the east, which involves a series of twisting turning steep steps, good safe footing but hard going both up and down.
