The summit at 381 m (1,252 ft) is only slightly higher than the surrounding moorland, but provides excellent views in all directions particularly to the north and west. Paths head west towards White Coppice via the ruins of Drinkwaters, south to Winter Hill via Hordern Stoops, and east to Darwen Tower via Pimm's, Picadilly and the ruins of Hollinshead Hall.
The sources of Black Brook and the River Roddlesworth are on the slopes of the hill.
The traditional walker's cairn has been replaced by a stone bench in the shape of a cross, which offers shelter from the wind.
