Graig Fawr cp lanes and muddy fields to top via caves. Down east path to Trelawnyd. On to Coed Cwm via more lanes and muddy fields.Flatfield11/03/2024
As others from car park in Trelawnyd, up road, FP, then PROW through wood to top. Great views today.PeterD18/10/2022
Just under 1 mile circular from Trelawnyd car park then up road to ROW and permissive ROW to summit. Very easy ascent of only 100m. A nice gop on top! Descended on path not on OS map to ROW south of summit and back into the village. High cloud. Earlier that day we bagged Mynydd Y Cwm and afterwards we bagged Y Foel.DanTrig11/06/2022

This hill is very impressive- a huge tumulus on top of a natural limestone outcrop, which is apparently the second largest neolithic mound in Britain after Silbury Hill. There is a permissive path to the east through pines-now cleared of many storm felled trees. Great view point.Denise 11/04/2022
From E on the well maintained permissive path. Quite a stunning cairn/mound, there can't have been a lot in the way of entertainment in these parts in Neolithic times. The cave to the S is also worth a visit.RichardM10/04/2022
From small car park in Trelawnyd at SJ 0907 7982, up road & then N. & W. along RoW & permissive path to the magnificent summit tumulus. Good view of the high tops of Snowdonia. Continued to Bryn-yr-odyn.gerrybowes08/04/2022
From car park on 'High Street' in Trelawnyd. Up and back on permissive path from the east side. KeithByTheC04/03/2022
1/2 Gop Hill and then on to Bryn yr Odyn from the little car park in Trelawynd. Very easy little walk and interesting especially the second oldest mound in Britain on first hill.nickywood131/10/2021

lovely summit vith lovely views just watch out for the cowsmy-list21/09/2017
Parked on roadside on Llanasa road above Trelanwyd. Pleasant stroll through woods to the breathtaking tumulus. Stunning views on a hot and hazy day yet nobody about.Jake99408/04/2017
From the village car park on High Street, Trelawnyd. We did some caving in the limestone caves underneath the summit so take a head torch. Views from the massive cairn were fantastic and we spotted the pagan shrine in the woods too. Wind at the top was really strong. With Mart & Daisy.John Eley26/02/2017
St Elmo's Summer House and Gop Hill from Gwaenysgor. Fantastic sea views on a mild spring like day.Lazylizzie05/02/2017
Me and Alf. From the Clwydian Way follow the very well worn track.jrj25/01/2017
As per maktengrove - amazing steep sided conical tumulus appears as you break out of wood on nice path from east not marked on map. Went on to Bryn yr odyn .Mark Sims23/01/2017
I really liked this hill. A walk through the woods not expecting much from a T2 but it is a big moound with great views in all directions. Apparently it is Neolithic and is the second largest man-made mound in Britain (after Silbury Hill).clivevilla02/01/2017
A pleasant tour of St Elmo's Summer House, Bryn-yr-odyn and Gop Hill (respectively) from Prestatyn Rail Station.summitsup31/03/2016
Roadside bagging with Dugswell.Smudge13/11/2015
Parked on minor road towards the east then used path to enter wood and gain summit with Smudge.Dugswell213/11/2015
Finally done after looking at it from my home town for 20 years or so! splendid views from Wirral to Anglesey. Cave requires bending down to get in. Mound is impressive, wonder what the natural height is?mattcymru13/04/2015
Parked in the village car park in Trelawnyd (SJ 09076 79825). Took lane north, then Clwydian Way to edge of wood. Then permissive path to the summit on the neolithic mound - second largest in Britain after Silbury Hill. Dropped down afterwards to visit the burial cave on southern flank of the hill. Walk continued on to Bryn-yr-odyn ....Man of Kernow111/03/2014
Climbed after walking through Trelawnyd. I took the road to Llanasa and then the Clwydian way that goes by one of the corners, i took the permissive path to the summit. Lovely walk to the summit and the views are great towards the quarried side of Y Foel and Graig Fawr. Interestingly my gps only only recorded a height of 231 m.Dazingdale26/10/2013
Easy walk from minor road to the east.Alan Caine27/05/2013
First recorded visit. Great spot of massive pre historic interestJohnIvor08/08/2011
Visited towards the end of circular walk taking in Offa's Dyke Path from Dyserth - Rhuallt then looping back to Prestatyn. The Gop is a wonder, despite the ill-treatment it's suffered. The biggest prehistoric cairn in Wales is a must visit.thesweetcheat08/05/2010
