There’s a public footpath from the road up the private road to Elva Plain farm – turn right into the farm yard and follow the track keeping the buildings on your left. The circle is in the field at the top of the track.
The number of times I’d driven along the A66 and never turned off to Elva Plain .... when eventually I did, it was the perfect day for it – with views from the peaks of the northern lake district across to the sea.
