Access road for Hilltop House Hilltop House is at the top of the drive, partly concealed by trees; it's not quite at the top of the hill - there's higher ground just beyond at the summit which has a trig point.
The road is also the route of a public footpath which bypasses the house on its left side.

A good attempt to block the bridleway A raingun was watering the potatoes just off shot to the left here; its hose reel had been left right across the bridleway, although a bike (or horse) could just about squeeze through against the hedge.
