Easy walk up from carpark, toilets and cafe area. Numerous dogwalkers about. Strangly no one at the summit topograph. Quickly found the surface block trigmark, some 9m in a northerly direction from topograph. Then continued journey north.cjo07/04/2024

Lovely walk on cold and frosty day. From Waseley Country Park South car park. (Free parking). Straight to summit and over the top. Walked back clockwise to the west going downhill. Then a path heading SE, join Monarchs Way going south and join Redhill Lane and back to car park. 5.3km. Muddy in places despite hard frost.Malcvolm22/01/2023
With Michelle and gym friends repeat ascent, rain stopped but no views. £3 to park at Wasely Hill car park; there are toilets and a cafe. In winter, gate shuts at 16:30. Continued to Lickeys.Denise 23/10/2022

Followed the Rabbit Trail most of the way round the hill, to add a bit of bluebell wood to the straight up and down. Lots of gates, no fence climbing required.Pete R31/05/2021

From the Waseley Hills car Park, it's pay and display, but it as was bucketing it down guessed no-one in their right mind would be checking. Tracks are marked on the map, but just took a near enough direct route, a double wire fence to cross. Toposcope at summit.jonglew16/12/2020
Quick up and down from visitor centre, narrowly missing a heavy shower.PGCE15/11/2020
From Waseley Hills Country pk, up via lane and N. Worcs way, back using marked routes to visitor centre. Cloudy but clear enough to make out Barden Hill, Clee Hills (just cloud topped). Went near top a few years ago on a walk from Beacon Hill car pk to Woodhill so made sure today. A nice half hour.pwheeler02/01/2020
Great little hill - been past it numerous times on the M5 but finally had a stroll up it. Good paths, and excellent views all around from the top. Third (and best) of three Tumps done today.Stuzinho05/10/2019

On 14.5 mile run from Pedmore. Lots of dogs beyond summit.campagvelocet30/04/2019
Easy stroll up from visitor centre with my wife & daughter. Bitterly cold wind for April, but the stunning views made up for it. Can imagine this is a right honeypot on a warmer day.wheresthepath13/04/2019
Picked a way cautiuously through a pack of about 30 Boxer dogs and their owners in the picnic area who had come from far and wide to share a walk and boxer stories. My wariness justified as boxers are affectionate to their owners who they defend and can be aggressive to strangers. They feature in top ten attacks by dogs, but then they are very popular, so there are a lot of them.Luckily this lot were well treated / behaved pussycats enjoying the county park who nicely promote that dogs can run free here. Spotted a potential new Tump from the summit -Rubery Hill rising out of the urban housing to the east next to Birmingham Great Park -went and climbed it - later checking shows it is only around P26.Chris Pearson06/04/2019

5th top of 9 on a 28.7km traverse from Stourbridge Junction to Longbridge station ,climbing Wychbury Hill, The Four Stones, Walton Hill and Romsley Hill. I re-joined the North Worecestershire path, over the M5 and took a path direct to the toposcope @ SO 97223 77899. I also checked out the high ground to the South in the conifer spinney and recorded 280m there. Descent North to plaque, stating that this is the Source of the River Rea and then I veered off to have a drink and fill up my water bottles at the Visitor centre cafe before proceeding to head for Frankley Beeches...Dazingdale01/09/2018
Large parking area just over the motorway, with a delightful cafe. Easy walk to the top. 10 minutes returnmoorsman05/08/2018
Did as part of a linear walk from Waseley to Clent with dad. Nice views from the top over Birmingham. 7.88km. Interestingly this hill lies on the watershed between the Severn and Trent catchments, so water on the East side of the hill will flow to the North Sea at the Humber, and water from the West side will flow into the Severn Estuary.PiranhaFish20/06/2018
