| As others, parked to S. in wide entrance to forest track - Up to top of track, across turning circle & then along path for about 20m to path junction - Turned right & up path to summit knoll. | gerrybowes | 18/03/2023 |
| As others parked in the wide area to the south. Followed track then path to the top. | Alan Caine | 08/01/2023 |
| Along the track from the large entrance area to the south. Near the top of the track take a smaller path to the right, which leads to the summit fort. The high point seems to be next to a young oak tree. | summitter | 27/05/2022 |
| Obvious HP on embankment of ancient fortifications in mixed, mainly open woods- access land. | Denise | 14/03/2022 |
| From Pen-Y-Foel on field paths, road and up over pasture to gain hill fort on its ENE side. Lots of dead bracken on the hill fort so possible harder in the summer. Good views of gently rolling hills of woodland and fields of pasture. | RichardM | 14/03/2022 |
| Excellent parking as clivevilla. Track curves round hill. 50 ms beyond turning circle a path branches off to the right which curves round and up to pleasant summit. | Campbell Singer | 20/01/2022 |
| Parked in wide opening to track at 16161 11524, followed the track up and round. Just after the track becomes a path there is an obvious path heading upwards on the right. | clivevilla | 23/02/2021 |
| From s, forest with public access. Forest road then good path to summit knoll. Chilly grey morning | RHW | 27/03/2017 |
| Plenty of space to park at entrance. 2 choices really. Either follow track all way up which then becomes a path and is steeper towards the top. Or do as I did; follow the yellow route to saddle east of summit then have to yomp through dead bracken to attain the summit. Nice view though | stig_nest | 25/04/2016 |
