Permission given to park at the barn to the north. Up through the wood.Alan Caine16/07/2023
Parking for both Wolverton Hill and Diddlebury Common at Shropshire Wildlife Trust car park SO479875.David Evans26/12/2022
From Burwood. A couple of paths lead easily to tree lined ridge with hp.NormanW23/05/2022
8.2 mile circular from little car park at Harton Hollow nature reserve. Along track to very dull but very easy Wolverton Hill top. We then followed Wenlock Edge on muddy trails to footpath near Moorwood farm, followed this to minor road then onto Callow Hill via the easy un-steep route. Nice views from the top stretching into Wales including the Brecon Beacons. From here we descended the same way (the steep route being far too slippery) and followed path to minor road, along road to Middlehope college then tracks and paths into Acorn Coppice onto Diddlebury Common. The black-dashed trail in the woods on the map does exist! We climbed easily over fence into field where summit is. Afterwards we descended through woods to minor road at Burwood and followed this back to the edge and car park. 402m ascent. Afterwards we drove to and bagged Brown Clee Hill (2nd time) and Clee Burf. Perfect clear, sunny and warm. No one about.DanTrig14/03/2022

Circuit of Wolverton Hill and Diddlebury Common from the Shropshire Wildlife Trust parking spot used by others. Second hill approached from SW along good narrow path at woodland edge, last 100m requiring more effort but fence can be stepped over at the top.milimana01/12/2020
Parked on grass opposite Burwood, along the road and up the track past the house, left along the path to the gate, and along the field edge to the summit.LizH15/08/2020
10:15, brightly overcast, still, 16 degrees at Old Burial Ground car park SW of Westhop, with Bag For Life. Cattle in wood on ascent evoked days of yore. Followed wood edge although there is a path just in the wood. On to Wolverton Hill.Wycombe Wanderer29/07/2020

Ample parking at the Barn off the NW short side, easy tracks if a little muddy, still in wellies after Norton Campnordicstar12/01/2018
Parked at the barn opposite the bridleway heading SE to Acorn Coppice which was an easy ascent to the summit fence at SO 48375 86840. Followed it SW and stepped over it near the summit. Returned NW through the trees to the lower forest track and back to the barn. 33 mins, 1.46 miles.Jim.Fothergill21/11/2017
Good parking by barn SO482872carole engel29/07/2017
Pulled into a gate 200m SW of Burwood Farm. Walked back then took the first track towards the hill. Turn right at the end and head upwards to the top where a metal gate gives access into the summit field. Returned to find the farmer, in his vehicle, looking over my car. By a stroke of luck, just before I reached him, a second car came along and he had to move in order for it to get past. I quickly made my exit before he could return.moorsman17/05/2017
On a long thought about day walk (4h 40 min) on Wenlock Edge. I started at Horton Hollow car pk and went via Upper Westhope to this summit; no problem accessing the summit- ridge path in wood, lots of places where I could get through fence to summit. No problem (track emerged) heading down ENE to bw, back on ROW down to Burwood for walk to Middlehope Hill(qv).pwheeler04/05/2017
