Much of the hill is covered in mixed forest and there is a trig point at 244 metres, which is also the site of Cobbett's View.

According to a nearby information panel: Until 2010 this viewpoint had been lost for many years under recent tree growth.

Yet an old trig point (triangulation station) remained to indicate that the view had once been visible for OS maps to be surveyed.

And so Countryside Rangers felled these trees to reveal the spectacular views that Cobbett so much admired.
