Indistinct HP in long grass on ridgelet. Pleasant views. From track. Noting others' comments, vegetation not an issue in winter.Denise 07/11/2021
From track along W side of hill. Over gate and up through bracken to Oak then over BWF to vague high point in pasture.RichardM07/11/2021
Parked at 35214 94949, back east a few yards to a diagonal path. The hill had been mowed so there was no problem with brambles or anything else.clivevilla30/04/2021
Newport - bus to near Tredunnock - Wentwood - Cefn Henlla - Pen Ty-coch - bus to Caerleon - Lodge Hill - Brynglas - Newport.Mark Jackson04/01/2020
From Roughton Hill, east along lanes to Llwyncelyn, then south on the bridleway, and then the fun began. Fought my way through Bracken, brambles and nettles to eventually arrive at the high point, not that you could see anything from there, as the vegetation is too high. IT'S A VERY BAD IDEA TO DO THIS HILL IN SUMMER!!!Mariana Trench22/06/2019
Good parking to west of fp. Along fp until rusty gate which actually opened. Straight up through dead bracken. Summit just over bwf. Looks better in mid winter with dead vegetation. Secateurs useful.Campbell Singer26/01/2019
Not a rumble in the jungle but a scramble in the brambles. Advice is that this is a winter hill.Barbara Singer26/01/2019
As jonglew. After gate the two bastard bs. Brambles & bracken.ngthack09/11/2017
