Repeat visit in passing after supply teaching day near Helston. Nothing much has visibly changed since I was last here in 2010 despite us having been around the sun 12 times. On the other side of the fence however, out of sight, exciting things are afoot as experts support deep space missions & run space communication projects which sounds very snazzy. One such project includes sending radio signals to a geo stationary satellite 9km above here hoping to improve GPS accuracy to a few cms for safety critical applications e.g. aircraft, shipping, and agriculture use. Surprisingly another project for the NHS use satellites for real time remote medical monitoring /data collection in care homes in Cornwall and the Scottish Highlands. I rather like the idea of joining their annual Space Mission Operations Course ! (which would no doubt leave me baffled after 2 minutes max). | Chris Pearson | 23/01/2023 |
Likely summit defended by gorse. Ouch, ouch, ouch. | summitter | 16/01/2023 |
3 Tumps inbetween ringing bells at Penzance and Manaccan. Also visited alternative highpoint, but very gorsey. 1/3 | PGCE | 02/07/2022 |
Do not put Goonhilly Down in your satnav. I ended up being taken along a maze of gravel roads. Type in Goonhilly Earth Station. There is a fp just past the Earth Station which takes you across flat heathland. HP is on a small mound just outside the fence. | clivevilla | 27/06/2022 |
From the nature reserve car park just beyond the Earth Station, on a grit path over the heath past the Dry Tree Menhir to the trig point, and return. With ALT, TST and Cara. 1.8km with 5m of ascent. | Man of Kernow1 | 18/05/2022 |
Circuit from nature reserve car park. | Bramley | 08/06/2021 |
Lots of paths from road to east around perimeter of Earth Centre | Mark Sims | 16/10/2020 |

From a small dirt layby at SW 7290 2129. RoW to trig pillar and hill top on a mound that's most likely a barrow. | jonglew | 18/10/2018 |
From nature reserve car park on a very wet day. Trig seemed highest but visited nearby tumulus as well. | PeterD | 22/09/2018 |
Not the most obvious hill! Annoyingly the visitor's centre is now closed | Poolton123 | 31/08/2017 |
Trig S 1732 and HP is in between listening station fence and water tower in public access land by footpath on small tumulus, near ancient standing stone. not sure what the concrete post next to trig is. Area rich in ancient and modern ( eg WW2 Radar- Dry Tree) history | Denise | 13/07/2016 |
With all the clumps of scrub, bunkers mounds and buildings it's hard to be sure of a naural high point. Trig point is on low mound (tumulus?) The top of the 4m standing stone is higher but I couldn't climb it and I couldn't stand on Denise as she was still wingeing on about her broken ribs. | RichardM | 13/07/2016 |
Visit to the barrows and standing stone. The barrow with the trig is called Cruc Dreanoc (Barrow of the thorns). The gorse here makes going off-path very hard going. | thesweetcheat | 23/06/2015 |
Parked in lay-bye on B3293 walked down to bag milestone before using the footpath along the compound edge to bag the trig and both likely summits. | Dugswell2 | 09/05/2015 |
Parked on National Nature Reserve car park at SW 72980 21148. Good paths to trig pillar situated on top of a tumulus at SW 72538 21107. Another tumulus 
c120m NNE at SW 72576 21215 could be as high. | David Gradwell | 17/05/2014 |
Parked in Nature Reserve Car Park just down the road from the visitor centre car park (closed) and walked next to fence to top. | Jacqdaw | 03/05/2014 |
Can't believe nobody has logged this before. It's on a nature reserve. Car park and easy access. Take your binoculars and camera and do some bird watching, plus butterfly and moth spotting. Standing stone too. No climbing invovled so just enjoy the nature. | ijpowell | 02/08/2013 |
Visited here whilst geocaching. This is the site of RAF Dry Tree. | CornishGazza | 11/02/2012 |
Intriguing place. Earth Satellite station (BT communications). Darren, being a physicist, explained all about orbits to me. National Nature reserve (of the flat bog type). Car park had leaflets re the WW2 Radar Station. We followed the trail around old bunkers, buildings and onto roof of Dry Tree - the call sign for the base. obstacles were built on the surrounding flat bog landscape to prevent enemy gliders landing. Found trig AND saw (but could not get to) another private trig inside the razor wire compound with a theodolite set up on it, very exciting. So much to see! Raining properly now. | Chris Pearson | 10/08/2010 |
adj tracking station, heathland, TP not found, may be hiding in scrub. FP from car pk on road to E | RHW | 25/08/2002 |
