While in West Bridgford... nice walk aroud the nearby woods too :-) | AJH | 16/04/2023 |
Parked on lane to N. Short walk to summit. | PGCE | 20/12/2021 |
Parked in the church carpark and ascended south on the bridleway. The high point seems to be on the footpath east of the hedge, where there are also good views. | JohnW | 24/10/2021 |

Parking outside cemetery on A60. Took direct route through cemetery only to find it well fenced all round, so had to retreat and go around to N to use ROW that runs to the E. Antennas at the summit so not easy to locate natural HP. About 23m ascent. Solo | RoguePulsar | 25/04/2021 |

I actually live about 5 minutes on foot from here and it's a regular route on my evening strolls. If you happen to come this way head east to enjoy trails through Sharphill Wood. | Altheus | 31/08/2019 |
Parked to the North in Grainger Avenue SK582 355. | David Evans | 18/08/2019 |
Sunny walk up track from north to field than checked out the graveyard. | Dugswell2 | 23/02/2019 |
Nipped out during lunch break to bag this one. Started from south and walked up Old Road. Great views over the city | dazedemon | 21/02/2019 |
From North up old road track to reservoir. And then into field by mast. Also visited other HP in cemetery | PeterD | 02/09/2018 |
Parked in Grainger Avenue. HP is the reservoir top and the gate has a handy handle so can be scaled. Highest notherwise seems to be in the trees at the edge of the field the other side of the track. | clivevilla | 10/04/2018 |
Parked near Grainger Ave and followed RoW S to E side of reservoir, which looked higher at the time. Back to the car and drove into cemetery and parked near chapel. Difficult to tell high point but appeared to be near SW corner of reservoir. Felt a bit odd because there was a funeral going on in the chapel. | Wheelsy | 05/01/2018 |
Parked on residential Grainger Ave. RoW due S to resr, then back N and into cemetery for the chapel. Not able to say if it was higher or not. With Carole Engel. | jonglew | 28/12/2017 |
Both summits visited but that near chapel was not significantly different to that near the resr | carole engel | 28/12/2017 |
Forgettable | Mark Sims | 22/04/2017 |
A walk around the covered reservoir and the chapel amused by the fire assembly point sign at the back of the crematorium. None the wiser where the high point of this flat topped hill actually is. My preference is the fence on W side of reservoir though ground on E side of chapel similar height. Good views out over the Trent valley from W side of chapel. A warm and muggy afternoon. | RichardM | 02/08/2016 |

From bend in A60 to the north. South along track/fp to second of two fps going east. You can't get through from main cemetary & crematorium. Big high green fence. | ngthack | 10/03/2016 |
Another graveyard summit. looks like HP is next to reservoir fence in Catholic section of cemetery. Brings my graveyard summits to 6, I think. | Campbell Singer | 15/01/2016 |
Parked in cemetery close to the the crematorium. Walked up through graves (one being filled in as we passed) and found HP next to reservoir fence. | Barbara Singer | 15/01/2016 |
After nightmare drive through middle of Nottingham from TuMPs to the north. Visited couple of possible high points. Enormous cemetery nearby. (Got £60 fine for driving in bus lane; £30 if paid within 14 days). | Aye Jimmy | 20/05/2015 |
Last hill of the day, starting from East Leake near Rushcliffe Halt,I climbed up Court hill,Gotham hill and then Brands hill before walking through Clifton abd then Ruddington on a direct approach. Ground near fence of cemetary on Bridleway side seems the highest natural point. New fencing around covered reservoir. Descent via fp onto A60 and then right onto Boundary road to catch bus back into Nottingham. | Dazingdale | 30/01/2015 |
Frpm A60, agree top appears to be East side of Bridleway but top corner of crematoriuum could be as high | Bramley | 09/10/2014 |
Walk up lane then good look around. | Adrian | 16/08/2014 |

Wet day, so had a bus ride around Nottingham. Walked North from A52 on bridleway, over the hill to A60, then finished up at Asda. | Richard Gunn | 08/11/2013 |
Breaking into reservoirs isn't my cup of tea; highest natural spot appears to be on eastern side of the transmitters, on the public footpath - but walk around the top of the cemetary if you want to bag it the Marilyns way. | DanHolme | 28/09/2013 |
Mound E side of b/way highest SK 58098 35086, 85g/84s; SW cnr resr SK 57993 35051 seems lower. from N, thru cemy; slender gap in fence allows return along b/w | RHW | 11/02/2012 |
