Every county has a highest point. Sadly for Nottinghamshire it lies next to, or arguably on, the M1. However you can walk close to it using the section of the Robin Hood Way long distance path which runs from Strelley to Awsworth.

If you've walked up this hill already why not log on or register and record your walk?
