From Winchcombe, with Dwebmaster16/07/2023
HP by trig in corner of grassy field next to hawthorn hedge. Close to RoW. Hazy.Denise 02/05/2022
A scramble up the woodland slope to the summit from the Gloucestershire Way, humping my pack with me.PhilipChaston19/04/2022
Nice run from Winchcombe .. stealth mode through trees … saw some deermilejunkie21/01/2022
Nice walk from Winchcombe. Inquisitive bullocks all around. Just being friendly.summitter01/10/2021
7am. 18 degrees (25 by midday), cloudless. Via Winchcombe Way to SE with Bag For Life. Lovely being out early, golden sunshine, wood pigeons cooing and still a comfortable temperature. More wooded round here than I expected and though it pains me to say it, these Cotswolds have more hills that involve a bit of a climb on foot than most of the Chilterns and have a slightly wilder feel.Wycombe Wanderer17/07/2021
On the final section of the Gloucestershire Way, from Winchcombe to Tewkesbury. I've been up here before, but not to the summit. Rather than brave the barbed wire, I decided on a steep approachup through the woods from the north. Apart from being very steep, this was a straightforward enough route. Once up on the edge, a clear path leads to the summit, although it took me a while to find the trig which was hidden by various bits of hedge and shrub. Views are consequently limited, but glad to have made it up here. Returned the same way, into the appalling mud slalom that channels the GW down to the Stanleys.thesweetcheat29/05/2021
From Gretton S along Winchcombe Way. At confluence of paths E of the trig take a farm track that skirts the other side of the ridge. Not far along an unlocked field gate on the right gives unfettered access to this bag. I must admit I was rather focussed on not being observed, and can’t now remember if this track even shows on the map, or is in fact the one to Langley Hill Farm. Great views. Part of circuit including Dixton Hill and Oxenton Hill then first thirst quencing post lock-down pint at Gardeners, Alderton.Pete West13/04/2021
The good parking spot to NE opposite RoW at SP 0180 3035 was not available due to roadworks; roadside parking nearby - SW up track to T-junction, turned left & a short walk up track to farm gate at SP 0098 2903 - Through gate & up over lush pasture to summit by trig point. (S)gerrybowes31/03/2021
Easy to jump the barbed wire fence from the bridleway and head up to the trig.twg2717/09/2020
Visiting Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle we followed the road and path to the barbed wire fence. Found it easy to roll under and upto the trig point.ChinnockC05/09/2020
Nice day for a leisurely wander around a few Cotswolds HuMPs.Alex C08/03/2020
With K from minor road leading up from Winchcombe. Saw a fox at the trig.Ashley07/09/2019

Parking spot to NE at SP 0180 3035. Lane then f/p direct to three way junction at top. Took Far Stanley sign into field, fence on left followed round to small metal gate, then to another up left. Exited trees and continued along shoulder to top.Aye Jimmy02/03/2019
With Jenx and Bryher up the Gretton Hill Lane from good parking at The Oak PH. Could park opp lane on the minor road. Saw no one, just a great viewnordicstar02/01/2019
Byway used by horses so quite muddy in places. But an easy way up.jenx02/01/2019
With Kate, Ollie, Jill, Stuart, Sue and Alice from Winchcombe along the Gloucestershire Way. Mindful of the GOML warnings evidenced by the barbed wire and chained and padlocked gates this was a summit claimed under the proximity rule. The two deer sighted near the top had no regard for the security measures.Newton Maximus22/12/2018
From Winchcombe on path past Enfield Farm. Avoiding cows with calves (and Bull I noticed on way down) Found trig hiding between clumps of brambles.KC08/06/2018
Parked on edge of lane to Langley Hill Farm and returned after 30 minutes to have a GOML encounter. Bit unnecessary really, but hey, that's some farmers' wives for you.PGCE03/11/2017
From Gretton - up via Stanley Mount and down via Cups Hill.summitsup22/10/2017
From Gretton; up on fp through woodland strip on little ridge, down on lane which has the Hell of the N Cotswolds event. Kept to field above this lane, then used bridleway where the mud was indeed hell- escaped into grassy bowl and joined fps below paddocks. Note the summit area is (now?) fenced, not open as shown on the map link, but there are plenty of gatespwheeler13/03/2017
With Coel & Evan. A quick trespass to trig.Dangerous Dave11/02/2017
Parked on Gopshill Lane in Gretton. Followed footpaths straight uphill, through woods and meadows and lovely views of Bredon Hill, the Malverns and the Cotswolds. Over gate into pasture containing summit.Sprog07/08/2016

steep cimb up the hill from above Winchcombe. Retired for a drink in the Corner Cupboard with roaring fire.Adrian22/12/2013
Ascended from lane out of Winchcombe.JohnW06/07/2013
Parked Winchcombe (lovely Cotswold town) pleasant walk on footpaths all way to top field which has cows and electric fence. Short trespass to summit trig using overgrown path in shrubs to north of field as less visible. Extended walk to wood carving to west of top, which was a bit of a disappointment. Excellent views of Cotswold Hills, Malverns and Vale of Evesham from this hill, but NOT from the summit itself. Excellent pint of "Landlord" and good lunch in The Corner Cupboard PH.Hillsidenick22/05/2013
From Winchcombe, easily access through field gate and along ridge path. The path is well worn making it look like a well used route.rhalstead12/01/2013
A short trespass over rough heathland to the summit and accompanying trig point.jonglew18/08/2012
Walked up from the attactive village of Winchcombe. Easy walk on path most of 2/3rds of way then head for trig along ridge. Startled a fat Muntjac deer on a lovely day for March.Dugswell205/03/2012

A circular walk from Gretton. Walked up along a slightly overgrown woodland path but a better descent through seemingly abandoned grassland.Herbert Anchovy06/08/2010
walked up from winchombe using the wychavon way (which is well sign posted). Their are still numerous electric fences everywherehodder18/04/2009
easy walk but cared neededRhayader_wander13/06/2006
Walked up from the attactive village of Winchcombe. There are still plenty of electric fences around but also lots of stiles and gates to avoid having to touch them. It is hard to tell what this scrubby plateau is now used.Father Ted28/12/2005
With Ian to summit, early blackberries nearly ready.nickywood118/08/2003
