Followed the GW from the NW, which enters the golf course and skirts around a few holes until due north of the summit. Great course - may come back with the clubs one day. In the meantime found three stray balls to lose later this week. | summitter | 28/05/2022 |

Parked in Welshpool and followed the Glyndwr Way. Enjoyable walk with a steady climb. Strange to find a golf course at the top, but only one golfer around. Great views all round. With whole family except Evangeline. About 260m ascent. | RoguePulsar | 19/04/2022 |

Start of a Shropshire holiday - From A458 (Layby at Sylfean Halt) - across the fields through the wood and golf course to reach the summit and trig. A Red Kite soars above. | briandavies | 11/10/2019 |
Friendly greeting at the clubhouse on a day when there were no golfers due to rain and low cloud. Walked the fairways at will to get to the trig. | NormanW | 01/10/2019 |

a WWW (we welcome walkers). Drove up to clubhouse (interesting in camper, especially meeting car coming down narrow steep road!!!) on Monday when staff are off - no bar or cafe. Go round first hill (anticlockwise) and then follow ridge. As I was going up, a greenkeeper coming down in buggy came across and was fully welcoming. The 18th is not for the faint-hearted - as you come down, take a look at the last tee before descending - across a col to the lower hill and then up it. A snorter of a final hole! | henryfm | 16/09/2019 |

Up through beautiful estate and well marked. Felt slightly surreal as I neared the top sweating, puffing and panting to hear voices and “whack” as we passed folk playing a sedate game of golf. | elizyanne | 01/08/2019 |
