The hill is crossed by the Cleveland Way National Trail[3] and is a part of Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, which also passes over the neighbouring tops of Cold Moor, Carlton Moor, Live Moor and Hasty Bank — a section of the walk which Wainwright described as "one of the finest". It is also part of the Lyke Wake Walk.[4]

Just to the west of the summit is the burial mound of 'Drake Howe (Howe is an Old Norse word meaning "burial mound").[5] This Bronze Age burial mound is now a scheduled ancient monument.[6]
