Cam Peak, Cam Long Down and Downham Hill from Cam Peak car park.Fred Windsor21/09/2021
On Cam Peak - Cam Long Down- Uley Bury- Downham Hill- Newlands Fm- Cam resrvoirs walk, from the car pk by the resrs, NE of Cam Peak. 4 miles, 1180 ft asc. Ascent and impression as described by Denise; well worth visting the SW end of the hill top area as well as the HP. Sunny afternoon visit for me. The fields are grazed by retired horses and walked by a knackered hillbagger today.pwheeler06/09/2021

Parked in Cam and did a circuit of Cam Long Down, Crawley Hill and Downham Hill. About two hours going pretty fast.clivevilla20/01/2016
Have been saving this one for a while as close to home. First of 2016, last tump of the county of Gloucestershire for me. Ascended on permissive path. Very muddy up and down, good views.PeterD01/01/2016
Found the start of the Permissive Path easily, its off the road to the north of the bill NW of the summit. There is a sign saying that access is allowed so visitors can enjoy the view and asking you to keep to the path to the summit. I wish more hills without POWs were so welcoming.Swindon Bagger25/10/2015

Kingscote to Dursley. Summit topography records the former presence of an C18th smallpox isolation unit.Smudge14/02/2015
Walked here from Cam Long Down. Up and down the permissive path which begins near the pet holiday home to the NE. The summit is marked by a large sycamore and, nearby, an unusual sycamore avenue where I met a handsome fox. Fine hill. Returned to the carpark to W of Cam Long Down following first the road and then a long straight path over wet slippery ground.Herbert Anchovy14/01/2015
With Pam Thorne from the north. Very grand tree probably an oak on summit plus an avenue of trees to the south.vegibagger03/01/2015
