Hi all, Winter Hill top driveable access is open again.  Please see note below from John at Arqiva.

Thanks

Andy

Good morning,

I’m pleased to confirm that the three years of mast works at Winter Hill have now been completed, and access restrictions can be relaxed.

Access arrangements are now as follows:

• The bottom barrier will remain locked as usual.
• The two newer gates surrounding the TV mast site will remain open under normal conditions and will only be closed/locked when airworks are taking place.

Please note that the padlock code for the bottom barrier will remain the same in the short term. This will be updated soon, and a further notification will be issued in advance of any change.

I’d like to thank everyone for your patience, cooperation, and support during this particularly busy period—it has been very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

John Doran

We have been informed by the local farmer that they intend to put sheep and lambs on the fell in the coming days.  There will be NO site closures, however they will be locking the farm gate leading from the car park. 

Can all pilots use the adjacent kissing gate? please do not climb the farm gate, if you have a large bag please pass it over the gate and pick it up the other side.

Thank you

Andy

Edenfield will be closed for Lambing from 1st April 2026 to 25 May 2026 inclusive.
