From Ilmington set off along Back Street and attempted to take a shortcut via Warwickshire's muddiest footpath. Abandoned this and returned to road, up Campden Hill/Campden Pitch/Nebsworth Lane, then turn right at junction for summit. The summmit itself is in a ploughed field with no view, but from the lane there are good views of the Malvern Hills and my next top, Worcestershire Beacon, in the distance.hillbagger9115/11/2023
We've started to do county tops to break long car journeys. Today was the turn of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. We parked by the gate to the mast. Firstly walked east along the footpath to level with supposed high point and clocked 261m on my Garmin watch. We then walked the other side of the road to find the trig . OSM shows it north of the masts in the east field into which there was a tractor track. However we could not get near the trig for head high rapeseed plants. We could see it peeking above the plants.we clocked 259m here. Walking back to the path road junction there is a stone and a fine stone seat on which were sitting a tourist couple from the Netherlands. This seat is also at 261m according to my watch but suspect it may be in Gloucestershire. I wonder where the old boundary ran? Anyway good views, not as impressive as Oxfordshire but ticked off.RowanP29/06/2023

Fine mini range with spacious views. Shame you can drive up it.Wycombe Wanderer10/04/2023
Second Cotswolds summit of the day and 8th county top on a 10 county top (3 day) trip with 26 school students and 3 staff (including me). Weather grey and light drizzle but visibility OK. I know you can drive to the top of this one, but we parked at the National Trust car park at Hidcote Manor to the west, and then climbed up easily along the track. Warwickshire high point depends on whether you take modern or historic boundaries. The modern top is the actual summit (261m) which isn't very accessible in a field. Historic top is on the path at grid point 1877 4259. It is centimetres lower! The trig point (259m) near the disused (?) transmitters actually feels more like the summit! Returned same way.jamessteel10005/04/2023
Fifth Tump and second Hump of the day. Almost a drive up.Mark Jackson12/11/2022

From Chipping Campden along Heart Of England Way to Hidcote Manor, up to masts and Trig. Returned along track past Nebsworth, Foxcote and Ebrington.dgresty16/09/2021
From Hidcote National Trust CP. 3m circular route. One wire fence to step over into a maize field, fortunately the crop has failed for the most part with the summit Gr clear white daisys and Poppy’s growing in its place.Jephcote8316/08/2021
By the time we left Newbold at 10:15 it was already 25C. By the time we’d cycled to the summit via Lark Stoke it must have been even hotter. Stunnning, cloudless skies. Long views over towards the Malvern Hills and the Black Mountains on the Welsh border.pclyndes17/07/2021
A drive more or less tothe top - We park on the minor road close to the masts. Hill summit bagged we followed bridleway (old highway) East to two more masts on Nebsworth. Finally turning back near Dunstall buildings. A hot sunny afternoon. Also bag the trig pillar before we leave.briandavies12/06/2021
Bagged this following family visit to Hidcote National Trust property. By-way to the top leads up from NT carpark. Very handy. Appropriately enough the highest point in Warwickshire is found to lie lost in a flat ploughed field. Bagged the trig too, which as others say, offers the better view. Nice stroll back down past fields of spring lambs. Lovely day.Pete West15/04/2021
With Georgia - parked in NT car park and crossed border into Warkwickshire by ploughed field and Trig point.JTseagull01/04/2021
Very pleasant stomp from Ilmington, via Admington Lane and Hidcote Bartrim then back over Nebsworth. Varied and mostly quiet, although the stomp up to the high point from Hidcote Bartrim seemed quite popular. Fantastic views; could clearly see the Malverns and Birmingham tower blocks.jkl30/08/2020
Field full of sweet corn! Followed rows of plants to high point using GPS. Visited trig point too. Farmer came up in his car just as I got back out to the roadside. Phew! Solo.Dangerous Dave23/08/2020
Last one of the day from Jonny Muir's book. Rain and poor light was a damp end to a long day. Still another from the book 'ticked off'.Buck15/08/2020
Adequate parking on grass verge next to radio station. Visited trig pillar first as guaranteed access. Then crossed road to visit county hp. Crop of sweetcorn in field so walked east along bridleway level with summit and spot height returned along bridle way and entered field following verge east level with spot height on other side of thick hedge. No access through crops. Walked North along adjacent boundary getting as close to spot height as possible without damaging crop.mntainman22/07/2020
From the adjacent roadside. Parking in a manner that isn’t blocking anyone’s way is difficult but possible.lenman08/08/2019
1st of 4 Tumps on a 28km route from Mickleton to Stratford. Train to Birmingham then walk to Moor Street, followed by train to Stratford and Bus to start. I dropped into Hidcote gardens 1st then used the bridleway to get close to the start with a quick hop over the gate, followed by a walk around including the edges. Descent as outward but then took the Heart of England Way heading for Meon hill.. ..Dazingdale22/06/2019
Parked in Mickleton and followed path past Hidcote Manor. Continued until directly S of trig, before bagging this and then continued across the road to the HP, which was accessed by climbing over metal gate. Good views from trig point but poor from HP.Wheelsy02/06/2019
Visited the trig but not the highpoint years ago. HP in field, accessible via tractor track. Trig has better views! Parked by aerial.Denise 27/05/2019

On own. Early morning visit. Parked on grassy area by telecomms station. Across road, through gate and into ploughed field. Fortunately no crops but could be difficult at another time of year. Whole field looks similar height but GPS helped locate exact 10 fig OS grid ref. No feature. Low cloud meant nothing to see! Went over to trig point on wall as well.Beeliner21/03/2019

Walked up from Hidcote as others. Wandered along various field edges but criss-crossing the young crop to justify an extra inch or two seemed unjustified. Visited the trig on the way back.milimana11/05/2018

County top outing, find the telecommunications transmitter on the Erbington to Ilmington lane and park on the verge.The trig point behind the transmitter is 259 meters but in the field on the other side of the road or down the path by the side of it there is an extra 2 meters time to get the GPS out!WAYNE ROWLETT16/08/2015

Parked on the verge of narrow lane next to transmitters. From the bridleway E. of the transmitters climbed over the metal gate & walked about 50m in a NE direction to the unmarked top which is in the historic county of Gloucestershire. I then walked about 100m E. along the bridleway (the historic boundary) to ensure I visited the county top of the historic county of Warwickshire. (Solo)gerrybowes15/10/2013

It is close by a lane: westward out of Ilmington, watch carefully for the tiny lane to the left. Stop by the transmitter station. The trig point is behind the station but is not the highest point.
