Quick easy bag from the road to the E. Shame it was demoted! Ominous Magnox Nuclear plant just to the N.DanMaisieBex03/07/2020
Easy parking in Gatemoor Road and easy track to the Trig at the top.fosal2927/01/2020
Lulworth Cove to Wool. Revisit. SW approach path winding through gorse was quite prickly; descent eastwards much less painful.Smudge24/01/2020

With Jo, parked to NW on Gatemoor Road and followed track to summit on a lovely sunny afternoon.amblerbob21/09/2019
An extraordinary surprise to discover that this small hill looks over the adjacent Winfrith Atomic Energy Site where in the 1950’s nine different experimental nuclear reactors were built (each with a name such as Zenith, Juno, Nero, Hestor, Dragon, Zebra and Dimple) and 2000 people carried out research, into the best type of reactor and materials. Even this hill was hollowed out for an underground reservoir (emergency cooling water). Now all reactors are closed and removal decommissioning well underway, but cutting up with robots the two most complex radioactive plants (Zebra and Dragon)remain. The manager boldly states nothing on earth has ever been so well planned ! !? Next year you can stand on this summit and watch ( probably on your own) a reactor core being removed at very close range. If all goes according to plan it should all be back to heathland by 2023 which will be quite an achievement. ( the radioactive waste will go by road to Harwell, Oxford.)Chris Pearson10/03/2019

Easy parking. Stroll.destaylor31/12/2014
Ample parking at track entrance at SY 80541 86452. Take track to SY 80634 86348 then good path to summit. (Due to strange, relatively short one-way section, parking spot should really only be approached from the north although you can get at it from the north.)David Gradwell02/04/2012
