A further section of the Wessex Ridgeway and bagged nearby hills on the path or whilst returning to West Lavington. Took a photo of the trig which was located between barns. | PhilipChaston | 21/01/2024 |
Loop from viewpoint car park. Short section along the road is a bit iffy with not much verge to escape the traffic. | squeegs | 17/10/2023 |
From Edington to Bratton, White Horse Hill, Tinhead Hill and complete the loop. | welshyboyo | 09/04/2023 |

Lots of dog walker types. | summitter | 09/01/2023 |

Large car park at ST 9002 5139 - S. along byway, over padlocked farm gate & across to trig point which lies alongside abandoned farm buildings. (S) | gerrybowes | 13/05/2021 |
Good walk from Bratton via Combe Hill, Bratton Camp and White Horse viewpoint. The topograph there features Cranmore Hill and Bathford Hill (as Brown's Folly) to delight hillbaggers. Then on to Tinhead Hill, Edington Hill, and Bratton. The most enjoyable walking was on the slopes above Bratton. I tolerated a half mile on the B3098, avoiding it looked a bit convoluted. | pwheeler | 16/10/2020 |
Westbury - White Horse Hill - Cop Heap - Battlesbury Hill - Middle Hill - Scratchbury Hill - Southleigh Wood - Warminster. | Mark Jackson | 03/09/2020 |
nipped over the border from Dorset to Wiltshire for this one. Parked at the whitehorse view car park on Bratton Road near Fair View Farm. Walked up to summit on a circuitous route. 6.7km 171m ascent. great views from the top (of Bratton Camp Fort) summit a little disappointing but great walk over all with rain holding off until we got back to the car | stagger onward | 06/06/2020 |
From large car park to trig near farm buildings. All rather flat. | fosal29 | 08/03/2020 |
Easy to reach from Bratton Camp car park. Not a particularly rewarding hump. The Iron Age hill fort and Westbury white horse certainly make the visit. | Pete West | 17/02/2019 |
Superb snowy ridge walk from Tinhead Hill in sunshine with great views but disappointing summit within farm compound by trig. Microspikes useful. | Denise | 02/02/2019 |
A walk in bright sunshine on snow covered tracks from Tinhead Hill. Summit itself rather disappointing being somewhat level with trig pillar amongst farm debris on N side of White Horse farm barns. | RichardM | 02/02/2019 |
A quick bag! With B and R. | jenx | 10/12/2018 |
From large car park to trig near farm buildings, also walked around fort ramparts with A. Low cloud. | PeterD | 04/11/2018 |
	400th English Hump with Jenx and Bryher. Old farmyard | nordicstar | 12/10/2018 |
Parked in the free car park near the summit. Visited the ramparts of the hill fort, before visiting the summit. | Sprog | 30/12/2017 |
With K in miserable conditions. Trig is next to ?unmapped farm buildings | Ashley | 18/11/2017 |
dawn waking 2-3 km north this, car park near summit, trig in farmyard attractively covered in ivy. also wandered over to see the white horse, made of concrete and black bricks for eyes and with roped fixing points at various places on the top bank so that it can be cleaned and re-painted. | vegibagger | 01/08/2017 |
with family in the car | jabailey314 | 31/07/2017 |
There's a good growth of ivy over the trig now. | Chris Peart | 27/07/2017 |
figure of 8 from Bratton to Edington along range path down to Bratton up to White Horse and back along range path and down (and back!). | pshogie | 09/06/2017 |
Firing range perimeter track, by the farm buildings: as high as, if not higher than, the trig point. | Mariana Trench | 26/12/2016 |
Short walk from car park to trig | Ramblingpaul | 15/02/2016 |
From carpark to NNW | jimbloomer | 12/10/2015 |
Easily bagged from the car park for the white horse. Worth also going up onto the ramparts of the hillfort for the view and looking down on the Westbury White Horse. | Swindon Bagger | 27/07/2015 |
1/2 Easy bag hopped gate to trig pillar. When here have a look at the white horse it is more interesting ! | Fergalh | 21/04/2015 |
Atmospheric | deebagger | 04/04/2015 |
Visited the trig as on my previous attempt I failed to find it. | isabelle | 12/03/2015 |
Visited whilst geocaching in the area. | CornishGazza | 28/12/2014 |
circular walk taking in White Horse hill and Wayland Smithy, with Tony ans steve, drizzley | Lou | 24/10/2014 |
Parked in layby. I was appalled to discover that the horse was concreted over in the 1950s. | clivevilla | 04/12/2013 |
Resisted the temptation to park on top and walked up from the B3098 layby. | rhalstead | 05/10/2013 |
The summit certainly does not do this hill justice. Their may be slightly higher ground a few metres either side of the trig but this may be due to dumping of farm waste. Spent far more time at bratton camp and the westbury horse with the lovely views and sat in the sunshine. | hodder | 22/07/2013 |
My local hump, explored many times but this was my first visit to the trig. | Chris Peart | 12/03/2013 |
Very short walk round the buildings and to the trig. Very flat. | chrisbien | 20/05/2012 |
Bratton Camp much more interesting than the bizarre location of the trig/top. | summitsup | 26/04/2012 |
Trig looking lonely in the farm yard with limited views on this very popular hill. | Dugswell2 | 10/03/2012 |
Stroll over grass to the column 1531 with OS tag in a farmyard. Very odd. | arranc | 16/01/2012 |
Parked to the N where the metalled road finishes. Trig just beyond the gate. | destaylor | 08/12/2010 |
Beautiful evening for a drive up and wander,after course at Daunstey's school | Chris Pearson | 13/04/2010 |
Walked up bridleway from B3098 to the NW. This is a great hill with fine views, white horse and hill fort although the actual top is far from inspiring - trig was found nestling in nettles behind some unattractive farm buildings! | Herbert Anchovy | 12/06/2009 |
dullish arable summit, TP in farm yd 35m E of tk, not well mapped on OSLR. can drive +/- to summit, or car pk nearby to NW | RHW | 22/09/2002 |
During walk from farm at bottom of hill where we were staying for the week. Lovely day but cold & windy! | citygent | 04/11/2001 |
