Access

An informal footpath cuts across the site from north-west to south-east linking the road from Great Hucklow with a footpath from Foolow to Abney and beyond. This is primarily used by local people but is also used by local historical and wildflower groups to access the site. Evidence suggests it has had a long history of use as a footpath dating back 40 years or more. The path has recently been used very heavily and illegally by motor-bikes and is heavily rutted. At the eastern end of the site damage is widespread on the wetter land at the bottom of the slope.

Silence Lane (a "RUPP") lies adjacent to the site along its northern boundary. This is very heavily used by motor bikes and 4 wheel drive vehicles.
