The hill lies just outside the boundary of theNorthumberland National Park. Previously there was no legal right of access to the hill.

The simplest route of ascent starts from Housedonhaugh on the southwest flank of the hill, utilising the new access rights. The northwestern side of the Housedon Hill is cloaked inforestry plantations.
