Off Furzley Road here, the wooded area is Crock Hill, which is a hill managed by National Trust: probably called Crock Hill as it was a Romano-British pottery site. At 37m, it's not going to cost you a lot of calories.

The trig point t the summit of White Moor stands at 49 m. It's not a very pronounced summit, but the trig helps with orientation when you run here. The trails in all directions are great fun, fairly flat and fast underfoot.
