Walked up from Goodrich on a pleasant summer's day walk to English Bicknor via Coppet and Huntsham Hills and Yat Rock. Steep up to the trig, then a nice walk along the ridge, doubling back into the woods for the highpoint. Terrific views across Herefordshire and a nice aerial view of the Queen Stone. Dropped down to the west, down to Huntsham Bridge (nasty road to walk along), then followed the Wye to the bottom of Huntsham Hill which I climbed next. | thesweetcheat | 11/06/2021 |

Super hill, in the folds of river Wye. W Jenx and Bryher, parked along minor road in entrance to old quarry, SO58237 18366. Good path leads up all way following wall to near the trig, grandly situated on a spur overlooking what seems the whole Wye valley. Top is hidden back in the woods some 200m or so to south past the remains of a folly | nordicstar | 04/10/2017 |

Indistinct HP within oak and beech coppice behind folly within Coppet Hill Nature Reserve. Path to ruined folly and trig. The fog cleared as we sat and ate turkey sandwiches on the ridge and the views were lovely.Traffic noise slightly intrusive. Parked in Goodrich Village by school then went to Goodrich Hostelrie, very pleasant, for lunchtime drink ( garden, muddy boots OK inside. | Denise | 08/01/2016 |
The road that runs along the higher north east of the the hill comes to a small quarry where a path on the right,north, side winds it's easy up to the trig pillar that is on the north shoulder about30+m lower than the summit in the woods to the south.With Colin Henshall from Tewkesbury. | vegibagger | 02/11/2015 |

6/9 parked at entrance to farm and followed track to woods. High point is the wall overlooking the river wye. | Fergalh | 09/12/2014 |
Parked in a disused quarry to the east and then took the local nature reserve footpath through the woods. Visited the ruin and the high point in the woods and then the trig point (in case I ever diversify and become a trig bagger). Rather splendid views on a susprisingly sunny day. | Herbert Anchovy | 14/11/2014 |

Up the path from the east. This isn't a through road and you need to approach from the north. Bit of roadside parking. | simon and co | 28/02/2014 |
Parked to east, path to top. I thought the ruin was the summit, although the landranger map indicates the 200m contour ring is in the wood. | Chris Peart | 20/09/2013 |
Visited with Bib, Di & Nige. 
Last visited in 2006 when we bagged the trig. | lozinworcester | 16/03/2013 |
Park near the castle and made the short climb, wonder around in the wood but think the folly is highest. | rhalstead | 27/01/2013 |
Pleasant walk up from Goodrich. We parked in the National Heritage car park for £2 (daily rate refundable if you pay to go into the castle), but there is parking on the roadside if you don't want to pay. OS maps don't show any public rights of way on the hill, but seems to be common access land as plenty of people up there. | jonglew | 06/10/2012 |
A nice honest climb. Obvious summit. | JohnStoneham | 25/03/2012 |
From parking to north easy path to the top of my 1,000th HuMP...680 were Marilyns...walked about in woods to celebrate just incase. | Dugswell2 | 14/09/2011 |
Parked E of top. Top is the folly but walked about in the woods within the 200m contour. | chrisbien | 08/05/2011 |
From SO 582 183. Visited ruin corner and the high ground in the wood to S to make sure. | summitsup | 04/04/2011 |
Completed on 15 mile walk along with Little Doward. | DanTrig | 29/01/2011 |

From Redbrook. Only went to the trig point. Did not wander around the wooded summit area.Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 17/07/2010 |
walked up from goodrich along the footpath along the flanks of the hill,then along the ridge to the folly which makes a good summit feature and a quick look at the ridge in the woods. The open landscape provides a pleasant walking environment, a fine hill | hodder | 02/03/2010 |
Do this hill on a good weather day, the views to the north should be good. | andrew brown | 14/11/2009 |
Nature reserve pathways to summit area. Slight bank in open woods just beyond the ruin appeared to be high point. 
 
N.B. Stowfield bridge closed for repair at moment! | Smudge | 28/03/2009 |
