From Winchcombe, with D | webmaster | 16/07/2023 |
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. | PhilipChaston | 19/04/2022 |
Nice run from Winchcombe .. stealth mode through trees … saw some deer | milejunkie | 21/01/2022 |
Nice walk from Winchcombe. Inquisitive bullocks all around. Just being friendly. | summitter | 01/10/2021 |
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 Wanderer | 17/07/2021 |
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. | thesweetcheat | 29/05/2021 |
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 West | 13/04/2021 |
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) | gerrybowes | 31/03/2021 |
Easy to jump the barbed wire fence from the bridleway and head up to the trig. | twg27 | 17/09/2020 |
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. | ChinnockC | 05/09/2020 |
Nice day for a leisurely wander around a few Cotswolds HuMPs. | Alex C | 08/03/2020 |
With K from minor road leading up from Winchcombe. Saw a fox at the trig. | Ashley | 07/09/2019 |
Cheltenham Racecourse - Cleeve Hill - Nottingham Hill - Langley Hill - Dixton Hill - Oxenton Hill - Bishop's Cleeve. | Mark Jackson | 29/06/2019 |
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 Jimmy | 02/03/2019 |
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 view | nordicstar | 02/01/2019 |
Byway used by horses so quite muddy in places. But an easy way up. | jenx | 02/01/2019 |
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 Maximus | 22/12/2018 |
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. | KC | 08/06/2018 |
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. | PGCE | 03/11/2017 |
From Gretton - up via Stanley Mount and down via Cups Hill. | summitsup | 22/10/2017 |
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 gates | pwheeler | 13/03/2017 |
With Coel & Evan. A quick trespass to trig. | Dangerous Dave | 11/02/2017 |

Detour whilst walking the Ashton-under-Hill to Winchcombe section of the old Wychavon Way. Climbed over locked gate and up scrubby pasture to trig. | milimana | 24/07/2016 |

steep cimb up the hill from above Winchcombe. Retired for a drink in the Corner Cupboard with roaring fire. | Adrian | 22/12/2013 |
Ascended from lane out of Winchcombe. | JohnW | 06/07/2013 |
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. | Hillsidenick | 22/05/2013 |
From Winchcombe, easily access through field gate and along ridge path. The path is well worn making it look like a well used route. | rhalstead | 12/01/2013 |
A short trespass over rough heathland to the summit and accompanying trig point. | jonglew | 18/08/2012 |
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. | Dugswell2 | 05/03/2012 |
Pioneering for A walk | johnoz | 17/02/2012 |

From the SE. | destaylor | 19/09/2010 |
A circular walk from Gretton. Walked up along a slightly overgrown woodland path but a better descent through seemingly abandoned grassland. | Herbert Anchovy | 06/08/2010 |
walked up from winchombe using the wychavon way (which is well sign posted). Their are still numerous electric fences everywhere | hodder | 18/04/2009 |
easy walk but cared needed | Rhayader_wander | 13/06/2006 |
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 Ted | 28/12/2005 |
With Ian to summit, early blackberries nearly ready. | nickywood1 | 18/08/2003 |
shapely scrubby hill, likely pleasant view (night ascent). tk from N | RHW | 03/01/2003 |
