Crop harvested so easy walk over stubble | cjo | 24/07/2023 |
Parked at sharp bend to E of HP. Walked up road to gap in hedge, and then along field margin to summit, all very flat. | Minto | 05/07/2023 |
Sharp bend to E of HP has parking off the road, in shade. Gap in hedge by hedge across field gave access to HP along somewhat overgrown margin, very flat area but views. Right on route from our base in Bridport to the Cadbury hills. With Pete | pwheeler | 05/06/2023 |
From lay-by to south, through gap along field boundary with bluebells. HP could be in field or on earthbank. Only few minutes from road. Then went to trig to SW. | PeterD | 04/04/2023 |

Parked in small layby to S. at ST 6451 0493 - Through gap in hedge opposite & along well-established tractor tracks to the summit GR. Crop growing in field, but fairly sparse in summit area & no damage done. (S) | gerrybowes | 12/05/2021 |
Layby to South with convenient gap in hedge; followed tractor tracks in dry crop to indistinct summit. | Denise | 20/09/2020 |
As others, from the very convenient layby with gap in hedge. Uninspiring. | RichardM | 20/09/2020 |
Parked off the road at the sharp bend. Plodded round sodden field on conservation strip. The hunt was about, but seem disinterest in my to be equally odd pursuit. My second of the day but not a great bag. | Pete West | 20/02/2020 |
Parked in a layby on the road to the south. Through a gap in the hedge & along FB to what seemed to be the top. All rather flat though. | fosal29 | 22/11/2019 |

Tick with Alex and Smudge. | Dugswell2 | 27/03/2015 |
From Dugswell's chariot tetherd at the road bend. | Smudge | 27/03/2015 |
Boring. One of those that makes you feel a bit of an anorak for doing it. | clivevilla | 04/12/2013 |
The crop was at ground level so had a good look around. The summit seemed to be along the hedge bank in the vicinity of a holly tree, as per the GR. I also visited the Gore Hill Trig which appeared to be the highest point on that part of the hill. | Chris Peart | 01/01/2013 |
An extremely windy day. Needed to do a trespass into a barley field to gain the summit, but quite close to the field boundary so no crop damage done. | jonglew | 16/06/2012 |
Parked just across from the top in the field | chrisbien | 22/05/2012 |
Parked on verge and then through a gap in the hedge. I thought the highest point was somewhere on the hedge bank but I guess that's a man made feature. | Herbert Anchovy | 14/05/2012 |
Verge parking at entrance to bridleway at ST 64515 04928 | David Gradwell | 01/04/2012 |
A flat bare cultivated hill with limited views | arranc | 13/01/2012 |
Easy parking on rhb to East. Closest to summit 40m as in the centre of wheat field. Almost flat anyway. | destaylor | 04/08/2011 |
At listed GR the GPS showed 265m and the ground was obviously higher at ST 64567 05197 where the reading was 269m. seemed even higher land over by shooting tower at corner of a wood and sure enough at ST 64765 05442 got a reading of 672m. All cultivated | signyred | 31/01/2011 |
