O: This is SE summit. Both are well defined with 5-10m drop between them (implying nearer 198m than 193m). If pressed I'd say this one slightly higher. 10k map implies 2 summits within single 190co.

O: GPS set to Waypoint Averaging to improve GR accuracy. NB. There is another 203m HP at SO 72195 37092. neither can be seen from the other so difficult to say whether the second one is higher.

Passing by with time for a Mayhill-Woolpits circuit before dark. Parked in layby at 716364 on A417 between roundabout and Dunbridge Farm, opposite bridle path. Up BP, swing right then left up muddy track, later a quagmire made by tracked vehicles. A gap in the vegetation gave access to a route thourgh trees on the ridge line, crossing another track on the way to the obvious summit area with yew trees. My route continued SE down an easier landrover track, to the left of the house (The Holts) across a field to the lane, turning S along the FP towards Woolpits Hill, q.v.henryfm13/11/2023

Parked by Eastnor school for a circuit of Eastnor Hill, Mayhill (tracks very muddy) and Woolpits Hill. Mainly on estate tracks; 100s of pheasants.PGCE25/08/2021

From Eastnor Hill, visiting both potential high points n & s of the track, then back north across fields to the road stealing two boot soles worth of mud.vegibagger31/12/2017
From Eastnor Hill, along Land Rover tracks which were drying out but still gloopy in places. Ridge as with others, also visited SE top but slightly lower according to GPS.PeterD26/03/2017
High point appeared to be on flattish ridge within woodland including beech and yew. The tracks are very gloopy due to the area's use as a Landrover Experience 4x4 playground. If you sit quietly you may spot one wallowing through the mud.Denise 17/03/2017
Paths from Ledbury. High point on bank / ridge in open woodland Yews, Oaks and Sweet Chestnut. No views.RichardM17/03/2017
Eastnor Hill and Mayhill from Eastnor Church. Some unbelievable gloopy tracks through the woods, seemingly created by Landrover Experience as I saw a long convoy of 4x4s.Herbert Anchovy01/02/2017

2nd summit 130m to SE also visited, approx same height by Gps. After Eastnor Hill. Then to Woolpits. Circuit from Eastnor church.RHW30/01/2016
From Eastnor Hill, down through wood, over winter wheat field to join muddy tracks to top (100m into wood)arranc28/11/2015
First of 3 from Ledbury. Stony ridgelet with yew tree looks a candidate but I made knoll towards southern end of contour ring about 4m higher.milimana26/04/2015
On a round of 7 tumps parking at the Hollybush quarry car park, this was number 4. Approached from NE on forest tracks after coming off Eastnor Hill, then through woodland. HP obvious with a few conifers planted at summit area in mainly deciduous woodland. Tracks churned up by a lot of vehicle use although no evidence of forestry operations, maybe the hill is a 4x4 play ground - lots of thick glutenous mud.jonglew28/02/2015
Malvern Wells to Ledbury. From NE following the gloopy tracks. HP on a slight ridge adorned by a line of yew trees N of the track (1:25K) across top contour ring.Smudge12/04/2014
