From Stiperstones CP, Linley Hill, Heath Mynd back via Arbour Lane. With R+R.Dan Baddeley18/02/2024
4 of 7 starting at the bog car park on 15 mile hike. Over from cefn gunthley nice and easy up from there. Marilyn no. 81The-Z-Man25/11/2023
Revisit with Chris.Peterb29/06/2023
With Peterb. Started at the usual place near The Hollies then farm track east of hill until we met a herd of cattle. Struck up the heather/long grass until we reached summit trig and cairn. Returned via more direct route back to car.bowlesy29/06/2023
Before an orienteering event and did some more later. Camping near Bishop's Castle.davechaffey28/05/2023
Parked in grass/mud triangle 329938. Came in from south, road dreadful. Nice walk up grass, parallel to the track, then track up through heather. Road out to west was about a foot deep in mud and water to start with.iangalbraith28/11/2022
Day 3 of a 5 day winter backpack around the Shropshire hills. A truly wet day and the rain started in earnest when I climbed to the summit. Some views but too wet and windy to linger for too long.morgs4mountains21/11/2022
With Lesley. Parked south, small triangle 330935. Clockwise to col, over to Cefn Gunthley and return, good track to summit followed by flies and eating lots of bilberries. Great views. Continued clockwise around hill, gate through Upper Bent farmyard.Nick Canute24/08/2022
From Triangle on minor roadLongwojo19/08/2022
Second ascent. Road very rough (no tarmac/deep ruts) between the Hollies and the information board shown on the OS map. Suggest approaching by car from the south.PeteF11/06/2022
Parked at SO 33029 93531 where there is a flat space off the road Walked up the northern side of the stream then across to SO 33582 93866 where there is a path through the heather to the topbenwloudon21/02/2022
Parked at triangle in narrow lane 330935.Followed track north to col at 353m. Quick ascent of Cefn Guntly then ascended Heath Mynd over pathless NW flank. Easy going at first, but more heather higher up. A clear path from the summit heading south brought me back to my car. 2.4 miles 51 minutes.CXB22/10/2021
from 33028 93519 and then up the West track. NNE at the information sign and then directly up. I followed the atv track from the summit to return.Peterb08/10/2021
Parked on triangle at SO 33028 93519 as others. Followed track to W and approached summit from N along track. Great views across to Wales in a lovely area. With Felix. About 170m ascent.RoguePulsar18/09/2021
Straight grassy path near the top onto a rough track straight to the summit we saw two red kites at the top the top also has a cairn went with Dad.speedyclimber18/09/2021
Parked on the small grass area at SO 3303 9353, which I reached via Heath Mynd farm. I would NOT recommend this as the road gets pretty bad - much better to access the parking spot from the S. For the ascent I followed the advice of prwild below and approached the summit from the N, which worked well.paulhilder22/08/2021
Parked in small area on Linley hill , 350 934 -thanks google maps. Walked south on road, turned right and right again, then politely stopped by land owner and given alternate route! Walked further along road past huge mansions and their lawns before public footpath across field. 34391 92610. Followed nose through tracks, 33988, 92759. past woods to find wind turbine mentioned by others 33246, 93104 , thanks . Up path to circle of trees and then google maps satellite view directed us straight to sheep track. Negotiated gorse to summit and trig point. Unable to see sheep track from 10 meters away yet google can see it from space! 33558, 93858 Thanks again google .Hippy7716/08/2021
Space for 1 car by the wind turbine (note the road to the farm to the west that permits use of the ATV trail from the north is closed). So either park at the triangle and walk up or by the wind turbine and follow the ATV track from the south. Weather very threatening so quick zip to the top and back. Truly magnificent views across to Wales and a good cairn too by the trig. Zero tree cover so one to ascend in good weather!jamiequackers07/08/2021

from south easy park just past gate 3303 9352 up west of stream return east good hillunderhill22/06/2021
To be clear, approaching from the north on the lane that deteriorates to a muddy track, the triangle is after the 5-bar gate. Simple from there. I had turned and parked on the contoured approach to an obviously hardly used gate after the piggery but before The Hollieshenryfm30/05/2021
1 x parking above road gate on triangle at SO330935. NNE up track to 1st bwlch at SO333946, then vehicular track to 2nd bwlch at SO337944, then ATV track to top. Returned to find my car covered in saliva and snot from a surrounding herd of about a dozen cows with Who? Me? faces who had been licking the road salt off of it.Isbjorn17/04/2021
Parked nr The Hollies on poor road. More or less straight up from info board. Followed path S through heather for descent.squeegs24/10/2020
Easy ascent by walking round to the col to the North and following the track up. Less successful following the path down to the South and trying to cut back down the slope.prwild23/08/2020
Linked with Corndon Hill; harder than I expected as footpaths marked on the OS map are somewhat vague in JulyRockdoctor24/07/2020
Parked at triangle on road to SW. easy up and down. Cloud right at top.KC17/03/2020
then on to StiperstonesFlatfield05/03/2020
From lane near Lindley Hall - across field to old Oak - Through newly planted woodland the hulks of old dead Oaks still punctuating the landscape, the along the concessionary path to the Aero Generator and out onto access land. Headed to the tree plantation that identifies this hill from afar. Mist swirling around us as we reach the summit and trig. Descend north side then circle / return along the west flank.briandavies14/10/2019
from NindIanHHill01/06/2019
Limited parking near The Hollies to the west..short up and down, easy grass gives way to thick heather/moss higher upN.Morters05/04/2019
Solo. Up narrow road from the south to park at junction at SO330935. Solo. Directly up hillside to ground by cairn, which is the highest point, as well as the nearby trig point.pwbellarby07/03/2019
4/5 from Linley Hill. Slightly challenging or at least long navigation. Approached from track to South. Met by many stubborn looking bullocks. Decided that straight through them was the quicker way up. Bit foggy on top. Had a cup of Earl grey in the small shelter. A nice moment as I was in a rush to meet friends at the stiperstones Inn.tumpawumpa28/12/2018
From sw up stream, down due w and along path. Low mist, no visibility. Warm, still. Rounsfell27/12/2018
Steeply up from grass triangle. 5 red kites hanging in the wind. also one buzzard. nice views all round.gettingonabit02/10/2018
Parked on green triangle as some others then up bridleway before The Hollies then heather bash to top but came down to north on quad track and picked up same route in higher up . Fantastic views . Lots of cows roaming who had to be shooed away twice .Mark Sims14/09/2018
From lane junction to SW. Wet but conditions added to the realism, one of the hills in the distance (Stiperstones?)looking a little bit like Beinn a' Chaolais. On to Cefn Gunthly.Wycombe Wanderer06/09/2018
From gated road to SW. good tracks up through gorse, easy going through moorland, but much harder through heather to reach top. Good ATV track down to north and col with Cefn Gunthly which also ascended.PeterD18/08/2018
Day collecting Shropshire Marilyns, 7 in total.tomd409/08/2018
Parked on upper part of triangle after speaking to landowner (lovely lady). I'm pleased I met her because it felt like I was almost trespassing. Not a popular walking area I suspect. Steep climb up in thigh- deep heather. Summit has large cairn.Dangerous Dave08/08/2018
6/7 Marilyn day. Ascent of Heath Mynd from the south. 2.5km taking 45 minutes. (S)silveracorn_alan07/08/2018
Parked on triangle thern did a loop to west and ascended from north coming off by south ridge. Excellent little hill.SS25/07/2018
Past the ruin on my usual route. Bitterly cold on top. With KBEstig_nest07/01/2018
8/12M parked where 2 minor roads meet on triangle of grass.robertphillips19/10/2017
From Cefn Gunthly straightforward descent and then up onto top. Absolute silence, not even birds singing, and great views all round. Three hills done (inc Black Rhadley) and only saw two other people all day. Stiperstones looked busy though!Stuzinho02/09/2017
Trig, cairn and windshelter on top, with lovely purple heather around. Windy and showery. N/S ridge traverse. Second visitDenise 19/08/2017
Climbed with Stephen from grassy triangle near road junctionPaulineD15/08/2017
Quick bash up heather and bracken etc from the information point. Cows with calves but easy to avoidtrimarc205/07/2017
Twelve Tump circuit from Mitchell's Fold stone circle. Straight up from information point to WSW (pathless). Descended north along ridge on small path to track.davidpettit8417/06/2017
