Rocks on the summit of High Brown Knoll, Wadsworth It is difficult to decide exactly where the summit is, but the top of the large rock on the left is a likely contender. This rock looks huge from the triangulation pillar. This is on the present route of Limers Gate; the bridleway, which is now an indistinct narrow path marked by waymark posts, meets it a little way to the north.
