Natural summit is in east field easily accessed from pedestrian gate somewhere around SJ 5085 4986 (essentially at mapped 135m spot height). Trig point is accessed from the road, a somewhat surprising distance downhill, at SJ 5087 4992 (and flush bracket faces the road). | Matt | 08/12/2022 |

Parked at pull in just SW of FP, through gate, no cattle, to HP in field near hedge, walked along road to find trig well hidden in hedge. Thought embankment was lower than field, just. | PeterD | 10/08/2022 |
Summit position is not clear but I agree with the bank on the side of the minor road. | johnbarnard25 | 27/05/2022 |

Handy pull-in about 60m SW of high point of road at SJ 5084 4983. As others have mentioned, the high point appears to be the banking on W. side of road at around SJ 5085 4988. Also entered field through pedestrian gate on E. side of road & had a wander around; cattle disinterested. (S) | gerrybowes | 10/12/2020 |
The trig point is on the road banking within the hedge. | bolton | 17/11/2020 |
HP is as mapped in SW corner of field to N of Sandstone Way path. Trig is lower and visible from road. Luckily the large bull and horned cows (apparently Longhorn dairy) ignored us. | Denise | 07/11/2020 |
Rough pasture summit. Today the field had a herd of Dairy Long Horn cows and large bull which watched us with interest. Also visited the roadside verges and trig pillar for good measure. | RichardM | 07/11/2020 |

Roadside hill so roadside parking. Highest point appears to be the verge to the north west side of the road. | moorsman | 06/03/2020 |
From the road, quick dart across a pasture, then hopped the fence/hedgerow to bag the trig pillar. | jonglew | 23/11/2018 |

End of day bag at dusk. Couldn't see trig | Longwojo | 22/01/2018 |
Roadside. Some fine horses in the field. | Campbell Singer | 30/12/2017 |
After a meal at the Bicketon poacher, popped into the field off Shay Lane whilst my mum waited in the car. 10 horses started charging for us, they were young and a little curious but I was worried about my nephew. By this point we'd walked all around the highest looking points, no sign of a trig point. Great views - snow could be seen in the Peak District! | tumpawumpa | 27/12/2017 |

Just over a stile into the field at 50860 49865. | clivevilla | 30/11/2017 |
Cycled from Cholmondeley Castle. Onwards to Oat Hill. | Minto | 20/08/2017 |
Trig easily found. Just downhill from 3 concrete chamber lids and opposite side of road. It's a nice day and the views are reasonable | stig_nest | 18/07/2017 |
6th hill of 7 today but 1st from the 2nd part of today, Starting at Tilston I caught the 41a bus at 16.24 and alighted at Hampton Heath; I walked up Bickley road then used minor lane to Hampton House & up Cholmondeley road. No sign of the trig despite some peering and poking in the Briar, although attractive Horned cattle provided a photo opportunity. Highest point seems to be near wooden post, West side of Road banking, close to Horse circuit railings. I explored the high point further South, it is of a similar height. 
Descent to Hampton Heath, Next hill: Oat Hill. | Dazingdale | 25/02/2017 |

Trig in hedge about 40m NE of highest point, which seems to be banking on W side of road, or in field behind hedge, accessed by stile at f/p sign. | Aye Jimmy | 14/01/2016 |
Doing section of Sandstone Trail, decided to look for trig point at Hampton Post, but not there, so got the high point instead. | CreakingHiker | 11/08/2015 |
Couldn't find trig either. Had a look round in field, but no sign. My 1980 OS 117 map says it is in the middle of the road! | ngthack | 09/08/2015 |
