Parked at the village hall in Much Birch and followed a Country Walking magazine course, removing the bit to and from Wormelow Tump. Easy Marilyn but made a reasonable 8 mile walk. Very boggy in November.gbeniston07/11/2023
Parked at the village hall, near the chapel to the S (by donation). Followed a very boggy path to the trig. No views because of the trees. Woods are owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Solo.richard6905/11/2023
Solo. From CP SO 49819 32192.masmith27/10/2023
5 Marilyns from base in Ludlow. Aconbury Hill, Garway Hill, Ruardean Hill, May Hill, and Seager Hill. Ruardean Hill was almost a drive by, Seager Hill was a bit of a nettle fest. The other three made the day.Longwojo10/06/2023
4/5 Marilyns today, Parked directly in front of Chapel, only enough space for 1 car, path diagonal up, then through gate on right, path up to top then right to trigTribal2er05/03/2023
MC Up and down in 15mins from the church in the last light of the day. Nice hill. Very muddy. Good evidence of hill fort at the top.Martin6609/01/2023
Sunny. Fantastic bluebells.davechaffey29/04/2022
Parked by the chapel due south of the summit and made a short tour of the summit and attractive woods. Will be a lot of bluebells in a few weeks.davidpettit8410/04/2022
Parked at village hall, short round walk through pleasant woodland. Iron age hill fort earthworks.Nick Canute01/04/2022
Car service in Tewkesbury, so persuaded Shaky into driving around 4 Gloucestershire & Herefordshire Marilyns for the day. Glorious weather. After May Hill, Ruardean Hill & Garway Hill, time was running out to get back to Tewkesbury when we arrived at Little Birch village hall. Couldn't find the donation box, but we were only here for 20 minutes anyway as we ran up & down Aconbury Hill as fast as the mud would allow. A shame because the earthworks on top looked interesting. Just about made it back to Tewkesbury before my car got locked up for the night!NotReallyABagger22/02/2022
Parked at village hall as other suggest. There are a choice of routes up through the woods to the summit. Impressive and extensive earthworks surround. Definately a nice bag.Pete West15/02/2022
Parked at the village hall like others and then just a short wander up through the trees to the top. Nice enough, nothing exciting.nickywood105/02/2022

Here for the trigpoint TP:UK log: Parked at village hall and walked up PROW to pillar, very muddy.thejackrustles05/08/2021
Parked outside Little Birch Village Hall - signage states this is fine but to leave a donation in the tin. Given a second sign stated all events postponed til further notice (due to covid) no sign of anyone nor the tin). Walked down to the church then up the public footpath. Nice gently stroll to the summit.jamiequackers16/07/2021

Parked at SO 5078 3359, then up through pleasant woods to the top. Bluebells out. We buried a dead mole we found.DanMaisieBex02/06/2021
Delightful early Sunday morning in glorious spring sunshine with the bluebells out in full. Not in any hurry at all, and happy to just laze away half an hour or more taking it all in just a short distance from the summit trig.Twice Shy02/05/2021

With K. Parked near Low House where two women were concerned that we wouldn't get off the verge, but said that no-one would mind us parking there. Summit was magical in mature wood within hillfort.Ashley09/09/2019
