Observer comments: 'It's quite easy to get up on our roof, and from up there I can see all the way to Dundry tower in one direction, and Purdown looking another way. It's great for vismigging (though Purdown's better of course). It's also good for raptors on a good day. Can sometimes see up to 7 Buzzards and 4 Sparrowhawks in the air at once.'
