Parking at lay-by then through hedge gap along side road after reservoir. Nice circle of trees on tumulus but poor view. Extremely easy Marilyn. Good for a learner to get going onnickywood129/05/2023
The last of the England Historic County Tops where I reach the summit by bike. Cycle up from Pocklington and after a brief pause at the Top for a selfie proceed onward with extensive views of the Vale of York, skirting the North York Moors to Northallerton.pclyndes15/05/2023
A gloriously sunny afternoon the day after Lucy's wedding. I parked in the layby on the same side of the road, walked along the Roman Road around the reservoir, through the gap in the hedgerow, around the ploughed field and across to the copse. I wanted to stand on the summit but a tree had beaten me to it by several decades. An enjoyable spring walk after a very long winter.edmundjohnson07/05/2023
First we visited Bishop Wilton church, where my darling wife was confirmed in the 1970s. The drive up from the village is very pleasant. Around here the most scenic places are where the contours are close together...so not the summit, obviously.Pete R31/03/2023
Family walk with dogs w/Devon, Dad, Mum and Yasmin. Looped walk parking at picnic area by A166.ZacField04/03/2023
Dark by the time we arrived here in the car. Layby on east bound side of the carriageway just after the T junction. Gap in the hedge another 100m on and the same distrance across the field to the wooded knoll. A road not particularly busy but fast moving traffic.richard6916/11/2022
Parked in the layby on the other side of the road so walked for at least a minute before summitting.sturuss06/08/2022
A nasty county top to do with the tump being the natural summit. Fortunately, me and my cousin managed to do it and one we will certainly never visit again.DavidHiner28/06/2022
After many years, trip to Scarborough so finally drove past. Although wheat in field, possible to follow tractor tracks to within 3m of the summit copse.Nick Canute27/06/2022

Drive by bagging en route to the coast from York. Parked at the lay by and had a wander around. Absolutely nothing to see. We had to laugh at the glorious ridiculousness of this hill.Jake99406/08/2021
Managed to follow track through ripe crop to wooded beech knoll at summit. One of my final English Marilyns. Parking in layby on A road near by adjacent to gap in hedge.Denise 01/08/2021

Parked in the layby, walked along the verge, then across the harvested field to the copse. Not much to see!silveracorn_alan19/10/2019
Visited on my own while on a hill bagging trip to Lincolnshire and surrounding areas.magirob10/09/2019
Revisit for amended summit location.malcorbett26/08/2019
From Thixendale road. Direct semi-path through the crops made by someone less scrupulous than Beeliner.squeegs14/08/2019
On own. There are lay-bys on both sides of the A166 close to minor road 'The Bence' to Thixendale. Walked along this minor road past the fenced off covered reservoirs and telecomms tower compound (trig point inaccessible) to gap in hedge then across field to tumulus. Difficult at this time of year with crops in field but managed to follow circuitous tractor wheel gaps to avoid walking on our food. Suggest others visit when no crops as Nick Down 1 logged.Beeliner11/08/2019

Detour on way home from Sunderland after watching Stanley draw 2-2.Longwojo16/02/2019
A return visit in the light of the summit relocation. With no crops in the field, the walk to the tumulus was straightforward and pleasant in the last light of the setting sun.Nick Down104/09/2018

From A166 layby, bashed through the willow herb and nettles then carefully trod around the crops to the summit tree clump.Topographer5705/08/2018
After Izzy’s graduation in York, in thundery rain. High speed as farmer spraying spuds. Rounsfell27/07/2018
Seeing as I was doing this on a long distance through-walk I certainly got to see the best of this hill.Alex C18/04/2018
Over the fence to Tumulus of tree Trigs across the road in water treatment compoundjmistry8619/02/2018
Cycled up there from my new house just south of Pocklington. Was hoping to get there to see the sunrise, but it was just too cloudy.dianepick14/01/2018

Born and bred in Brid so have passed this summit hundreds of times. Nice to bag my county top at last!summitter17/12/2017
Ground at trig pillar may be natural HP, but large saucer barrow in arable field to NE much more interesting.jonglew07/12/2017
Parked in layby. Trig still there although fence to be climbed if you want to do it as well. No views from summit of tree mound. At least it's done.iangalbraith28/10/2017
8/8M last of the day in the dark layby short walk over crop field to trees.robertphillips21/10/2017
Parked in the layby, walked across the stubble field, waving nicely to the farmer doing the ploughing, and climbed the mighty tumulus. Then turned round and walked back to the car. Not worthy of an extended walk, shall we say?Gill03/10/2017
Looked at the minor road sideand main road. No access to tumulus through unharvested wheat.Moorponder19/08/2017

8 mile walk. Bishop Wilton - Givendale - Ridings Plantation - Deep Dale - Garrowby Hill - Crow Wood - Bishop Wilton. Like a south of England summit (non-existent) in the north!callumorr10/06/2017
Ian W & Duke. (A pop off the push irons to get a Bag in)DukeNukem07/04/2017
County top outing, tumulus with trees on top was an easy spot as nothing in the area looks like it. The trig however is now out of reach inside a Yorkshire waters compound for a underground reservoir. Park in either lay by on each side of the A166, after the Bishop Wilton turn there is a significant climb after this look for a transmitter tower in the corner of a field in said compound from here the Tumulus is easy to spot. Plan your visit as top is in a crop field to save explaining to the landowner why your walking over his crop.WAYNE ROWLETT17/03/2017
