11th visit, this time up from the Hepburn Woods car park and enjoyed the steep scramble up Hepburn Crags, well worth adding on to your visit if you're planning on doing Ros(s) Castle. When did that bench arrive up there? ~~ 04/02/23 Tenth visit, the 'usual route' from the roadside, in the company of Steve Lyon & Louise Evans. This was the first days Trig Point bagging I've done with Stevey since Mount Keen in March 2003 when I was on my way to compleating the Munros ~~ 24/09/22 Ninth visit, this time with Lucy Frost, a fantastic round from Quarry House to Blawearie, Bewick Hill Fort back via Hepburn Moor to Ros Castle. Trig sporting recent and immaculate coat of white paint. ~~ 24/02/22: Eighth visit, with Professor Yaffle, after a walk from Quarry House to Bewick Hill Fort and back via Blawearie ~~ 09/01/22: Seventh visit, with Simon Rushton - having just done the Cheviot in thick clag we stopped off on the way home to bag a Trig Point with fantastic views and a fabulous sunset ~~ 12/08/21: Sixth visit, with my cousin Jeff & his wife Jo, me doing the 'tourist guide' thing ~~ 11/02/21 Fifth visit, today in deep snow. The drive from Brownieside was interesting, to say the least, but the views today...wow. ~~ 02/08/20 My fourth visit to one of my 'Top Ten' Northumberland TP's, this time was first visit at sunset on a lovely evening. Views were simply breath-taking. Also marked Storm's 50th TP.

Top spider missing. As others have said, parked at forestry car park and walked up road but would have been better to drive up road and park on verge by access. Top is a SOTA summit (summits on the air) and I managed the requisite contacts to claim it. Spent 90mins at top, rather cold with hail, rain and wind. Good views all round.

Found this by accident while trying to access a walk around the Chillingham estate. The permissive path through the gate at the bottom of the hill is closed as there are so many fallen trees from the last storms. We had to give up on our walk but glad I found the TP and admired the wonderful views.

Parked in forestry car park at the bottom of the road, should have parked on the road near the path to the summit as would have saved us the journey up the road and the path to the summit is better than the one following the wall. However if we had we would have missed out on my return journey through the forest and around Hepburn crags. Didn't know this was a Marilyn, so didn't climb the wall to the true summit sadly and my conscience won't let me bag it either.

Third Visit 09/12/19 Clear blue skies today, so strolled up for the views, not disappointed! What is disappointing is the graffiti the pillar now sports - the letters 'HEX' have been gouged into the pillar above the plaque. Assholes. ~~ Second visit 20/11/16 with the girls on a lovely day across all of north Northumberland but here! TP mired in bank of freezing fog, no view today :-( ~~ First Visit 27/03/16 Very easy to get to up a short steep rough path through heathery hillside. Fabulous views and a seperate view pointer / wind shelter built into the stone wall that runs alongside the ridge of the hill.

Plenty of parking on grass verge. Horizontal rain and thick mist made for a wet, slippy ascent. Even worse coming down. It would have been a good view if we could have seen it. At least it was a Marilyn as well as a pillar. With CJ.

Great view out to sea and west to the snow covered Cheviot & Hedgehope Hill. Probably called "castle" because it's an Iron Age hillfort; the path up from the road crosses the fort's bank-and-ditch shortly before you reach the trig.

Parked car on minor road to south and made the short ascent up the slightly muddy and heathery path. What castle? Now that is what I call a plaque - no messing around there.

Second marilyn of the day, not bad for convalescence. Good view of a muirburn on Bewick Moor. Pillar intact with comemorative plaque but no plug. Very fine view, still snow on The Cheviot. No plane spotters, in fact nobody about at all. PS its "Ros Castle".

The local plane spotters were out in force today to watch the military jets doing their exercises. Great views from this little hill, and there's a little enclosure built into the wall with plates showing what can be seen.
