Went to 3 Trigs of Penpole, Shirehampton GC and KingsWeston from Shirehampton potholed CO. Then came up to visit top in woods. The KingsWeston Trig was down a well trodden route which leads to house that Trig overlooks.PeterD27/02/2024
After work quick blast in suit - oops muddy.Trantham Clan17/02/2023
On a day of Bristol prehistory. After a visit to Badock's Wood round barrow, walked along the Community Forest Path through the Blaise Castle estate to Henbury hillfort. The area down at Echo's Gate was incredibly slippery with mud. Up to King's Weston hillfort then walked the length of the ridge. Followed the CFP to Clifton hillfort and observatory via the top on Durdham Down.thesweetcheat28/01/2023

From 'The Dingle' followed paths near to western boundary of the park to 90m aod. Slippery mud and steep paths. Entered linear glade and then easy walk to highest point. Return via Echo gate then steps and descent to borookside. Multiple tracks made following OS map trickyamicablyinert06/10/2019
From W, had to park in a side road. F/p up through wood, emerged in clearing between woods at the top. Given HP about 5m into wood, slight ivy covered mound.Aye Jimmy30/06/2019
A pleasant stroll along a grassy ridge with wooded sides from Shirehampton free carpark to the west, including an awkward hunt for the trig.Denise 07/04/2019
One of those ridges where it always looks convincingly higher some where else, the Abney sors out the deception. Wide grassy ridge flanked with wild scruffy woodland. High point 8m into woods of ivy covered trees and ground on N side of the grassy swathe.RichardM07/04/2019

Parked on Southwood Close (little spur road off Southwood Drive), easy paths leading up.DC11main17/03/2017
In the last throes of daylight on a dank February evening at 5.30pm. A long jog from Ne along the wide summit grassy avenue along the crest covering all possible high points and beyond .. slippery mud not helpful to a running bag (better underfoot and sheltered on twisty small path in trees). Exchanged grimaces with a sole dog walker.Chris Pearson06/02/2017

From the large car park to the NW. Across a very busy park and up a steep wooded slope to summit next to tower. Fine views eastward from HP. Very pleasant urban top. Also did alternative top about 600 mets to SW.Campbell Singer25/07/2015

True enough Doug but I bagged the trig a few years before you :-) Remarkably long level ridge, made no attempt to identify and waypoint summit. Continued another 500m E past GR (ST 54959 77886 on 1:10k) then took path descending W to road.RHW12/04/2015

Took path through woods from Southside Close. Several possible tops in grassland and in woods.Herbert Anchovy09/02/2015
Doing trigs etc in Shirehampton area of Bristol. Not an obvious HP - summit is a flatish open-access area of short grass, much frequented by dog walkers. ***Walked over the new HP on same day as I didthe old HP.jonglew13/12/2014
My home town. Walked this park many times.Dusty21/05/2012
