Short walk up the hill on FP from road. Took the shorter ‘direct’ route. Most direct route on OS map seemingly too overgrown. Walked up with 3-and-a-half year-old daughter - who managed most of the walk herself.ewangibb8723/07/2021

A nice little walk up from the National Trust car park with my daughter Isabelle. The weather was cold and cloudy. Out across the Bristol Channel into Wales were some heavy wintry showers. We saw Grey squirrels and a Jay. The summit was a great view point over the village.isabelle27/12/2014
