The top of Billinge Hill
The top of the hill is disappointing as far as views are concerned, as there are so many trees, which obscure even in winter. Blackburn is laid out below.

Animal track, Underbillinge
The sheep seek shelter from the sun beneath a lone tree to the east of the path between Big Cover Wood and Under Billinge Lane. The "path" visible seems to be for farmers' use only: it's not marked as such on the Ordnance Survey.
