There is a Trig point and a Doomsday Bunker, which is locked from the inside to prevent access, The shaft and ventilation shaft was clad in Derbyshire stone, but locals say that the stone that was used to build it was stolen long ago, hence the reason for it being locked. At 299m above sea level, the (Rock) Fabrick is the highest point in the area and the views are stunning.
