Having driven around from Dodd, we parked up with our sights set on the diminutive hill that is Binsey. The walk to Binsey is even more straightforward than that on Dodd, there are no forks or deviations to watch out for and the summit is rather nice. A layby next to Binsey Cottage has space for 3 or 4 cars - just ours today - and a gate leads to the open hillside. A fairly rough track makes directly for the summit which you should reach inside half an hour.
