| From Dairy Lane, Dumbleton. | Wycombe Wanderer | 26/12/2023 |
| Alderton Hill and Dumbleton Hill from Dumbleton, using the bridleway and then the track up from SP005345 to reach Alderton Hill, and on the way back cutting up Dumbleton Hill and then down to the ROW N of that hill. Was made to wait on the bridleway for some time because a pheasant shoot was underway - luckily after that they all went to lunch and I was able to proceed, although a little more circumspect than usual about the trespasses required to gain both summits! | Mark Jackson | 12/11/2022 |
| Dropped off at Woolas Hall. Followed Wychavon way to tower and Bredon Hill highpoint for fine views. Continued on to Ashton under Hill then over to bag Dumbleton Hill and Alderton Hill. Hassled by over active game keeper and his camera phone while i was on right of way. He’d spotted me on the hill. I explained I’d got a little lost. Don’t be intimidated by these people. | Pete West | 16/04/2021 |
| Parked in Dumbleton. ROW past cricket ground to wood. Up northern spur to reach track. Track leads to pheasant pens - all open and lower netting lifted up. Descended south side, through gate into field to reach ROW. | PGCE | 06/01/2021 |
| Parked at Dumbleton Church (burial place of Patrick Leigh Fermor), out past the cricket ground and into wood from the N, up track and followed fence of pheasant pen anticlockwise to hp. No obvious higher ground in pen. Scrabbly descent SW to exit wood and pick up bridleway back. | milimana | 20/08/2020 |
| Parked by the church in Dumbleton, along the tarmac path then across the grass to a diagonal track up the side of the hill. Then a bit of a scrabble before finding another track. The summit GR is reached by following the downhill side of the pheasant fence. | clivevilla | 13/11/2019 |
| Parked by the church in Dumbleton, followed track until S of the hill then up through wood. Pheasant netting around summit area was down. Then to Alderton Hill. | Aye Jimmy | 02/03/2019 |
| After Alderton Hill and The Warren. | nordicstar | 02/01/2019 |
| Along to the east end of Dairy Lane. Parked at cricket club where an evening match was underway. Along fp and then into wood. Good track up to top. Huge pheasant breeding pen. | Campbell Singer | 10/07/2018 |
| Walked up from Dumbleton Village on a lovely summer's evening. Village is well worth a visit. | Ramblingpaul | 07/05/2018 |
| Rather a minor expedition up into the woods, even when adding the trig, compared to the polar pioneering exploits of Gino Watkins, who is commemorated in St Peters Church in Dumbleton. At the age of just 23 in 1930 he led a team of 14 to survey the East Coast of Greenland (for a planned air route from England to Winnipeg). He later disappeared hunting seals in his kyack. Wonder if he had practiced, when growing up, shooting game birds in these words as his uncle the Viscount owned this estate. | Chris Pearson | 19/02/2017 |
| Up the track/road from the church then north Knuth the woodland through the private gate. | vegibagger | 25/05/2016 |
| From NE, RoW into wood then open woodland and track to summit. HP between pheasant pens I believe | RHW | 20/02/2016 |
| Up through woods from S. Large levelish top in woods with wire mesh pheasant fencing. | RichardM | 10/02/2016 |
| Also did trig on opposite hill. Lovely clear sunny day. | Denise | 10/02/2016 |
| From Alderton then up same way as others. | PeterD | 13/12/2015 |
| Parked by the houses, followed the road, over the parkland and then steeply up through woodland. Highest point in release pen which fortunately, at this time of year, was open. | Herbert Anchovy | 09/12/2015 |
| As for Jonglew. Through keep out gate and pleasant walk among deciduous wood and pheasants. | arranc | 16/11/2015 |
| From the church in Dumbleton. RoW until opposite hill then across open ground to fenced edge of woodland and up through woods. Old pheasant nursery at the top. Flatish area but HP resonably obvious; walked about a bit to locate a higher HP, but think I had it first time at SP 00840 35339 - about 20m S of the OS 1:25k spot height. | jonglew | 24/10/2015 |
