From Harborough Rocks car park, PROW past factory then a short climb to the trig. Although the terrain looks very steep there is no difficulty. Outstanding location and views,pity about the factory noise disturbing the peace and quiet.

via the footpath up the side of the factory. Magnificent views from the top, I would have scored an 8 but Ive docked a point due to incessant bloody racket from the mineral works which shattered the peace & quiet! Notices on the poles near the car park show that a planning application for an extensive solar generating plant has been put in for the fields east of the factory.....

Parked at Harboro' Rocks Car Park (just a gravel area to the side of the road) and took the footpath down the side of the factory, over the trail and into the Harborough Rocks. The rock faces look very steep and daunting, but in actual fact there's a steady walkway through them all the way to the top. Relatively easy walk with outstanding views from summit.

Signs around that it is privately owned and walking around the area of the trig is at own risk. Plenty of families walking though.

Parked at Harboro Rocks car park and walked up through the rocky outcrop to the summit and trig pillar. Windy today but still had extensive views of the surrounding Peak District countryside including the High Peak Trail towards Minninglow and to Carsington Reservoir. A smart white pillar with original cap and green flush bracket. Note the name of the trig is Harborough Rocks whereas the name of the hill, outcrop and summit is Harboro Rocks. Afterwards walked along the Trail to Hopton Top and back.

Parked on Manystones Lane. Took the public right of way (PRoW), the High Peak Trail, from there up to Harboro' Rocks. Spectacular setting. Used by rock climbers to cut their teeth. Harboro Rocks Clay Shoot also hold events there. As I was not equiped with any rock climbing gear (not my favourite pastime, but I can do it if I have to), I accessed the summit and the pillar from the south eastern side. The pillar has been freshly painted. Superb views in all directions. 6 of 7 today in the Peak District

Enjoyed this trig- walked up from near Wirksworth where I was staying. First day of Lockdown 2.0. Quiet walk along High Peak Trail, with the exception of all the industrial/quarry works nearby. Guess it's always been so around these parts. A few little scrambles up the rock on the way to the summit, nice views from there in most directions.

2/3 Primary object today was to cycle to Middleton Top for a BCQ control. Whist I cycled down to MT I clocked the several trig pillars that were close to the High Peak Cycle Trail. Seven hills of Rome, but dont want to be greedy since it's going to be a long spring/summer. A very quick and easy walk up from the trail. Today is gifted to mothers (a day or two late), but lambs are only a few days old down here and mums are doing a splendid job with their young. Lovely to watch.

Struggled a tad to get to this as the water board had blocked the road near N53° 05.551' W1° 39.024' and we had to do a big detour. Great spot, shame about the plant below but you could ignore that. Could see this would be a popular climbing spot. Very hot by now, scorching to be honest!

Logged whilst on a cycle out from Parsley Hey CP down to Carsington Water via Tissington and the lovely little village of Bradbourne, returning via Midshires way and High Peak trail, approx 47k. We had to carry the bikes over two stiles using the PROW opposite the quarry works but easy enough to cycle up to the pillar. Good views out over Carsington on a reasonably clear day - pity about the wind turbines.

Second of three trigs on a walk along the High Peak Trail with my mate, Tracker Dog. One of the great trigs in the area, great rocks, great views and full of character in its surroundings. Easyish walk up from the trail despite sudden steepness. Have a sit in the nearby rock chair.

Came up here for the nearby caches. It was a little breezy up here but with the temperature around 23 C it was lovely and warm. Lots of cows around the trig point so we had to wait for them to move before bagging this. Great views from here.

Cow and the trig.

From Slipper Low back along country lanes to Longcliffe. Straight across the crossroads and up onto High Peak Trail after passing beneath bridge. Lovely sweet scent whilst on the trail and some welcome shade whilst passing through a cutting. Hopped over wall when alongside what I guess is the entrance to a mine. Long, slow climb zig-zagging up the hill on the hottest day of the year so far. Great location for a trig with good views across to Carsington Water but spoilt by constant noise from the stone plant at the foot of the hill. Pillar is in good order but original cap replaced with plastic. Rested for a while in shade of the boulders before descending to Manystones Lane. Returned to Brassington via PROW at SK239549 and Wirksworth Dale.

My walking group, The Irregulars, LDWA were walking nearby on the Limstone Way. So this was an opportunity for melch and myself to slip away and and bag this one. Visible and easily accessible just off footpath. Pillar in good order but has plastic plugs. Views difficult to judge as we were shrowded in early morning mist.
