Whilst walking the English Coast Path. Severn Bridge to Avonmouth. Up past the Travelodgefosal2927/02/2024
Walked over the Severn bridge for some exercise then joined the Severn way footpath over the M4 motorway around the service stationh this then takes you directly near the top. I was expecting the worst when visiting the service station but it is currently closed. I did not see another person the high point is over grown with insects and butterflies. Just follow the waymarkers for the Severn way.hodder25/07/2023

First visit from Welsh cousins for a while, took in this fantastic viewpoint before garden centre visit. I remember the Top Rank Services here many years ago, THE place to go early hours after a nite out, was like an after hours club/cafe, many celebs and pop stars seen taking a break here.dicky06/07/2020
Travelodge Car Park. A lovely top.Rob Rees31/12/2019
Aust Cliff and Aust Hill from the Travel Lodge at 57037 89741. A liitle bit tricky to find the road to Aust Hill. You have to walk along the exit to the services then double back.clivevilla15/10/2019

Parked up at services then an easy stroll to the summit and then the Vanessa like Severn Bridge trig point with Iain Brown.Dugswell208/03/2017
Visited for the SW summit, just above insurance building / Travelodge, rough grass 20m W of (non OS) trig pillar (which presumably relates to Severn bridge construction / monitoring).RHW25/02/2017
Parked at motorway services and ascended the new top. Followed path through the woods and across fields to the old top.webmaster19/02/2017
Had a niggle (since proved right thanks to Lidar work by Chris C & George) that this grassy mound could be higher than the existing Aust Hill top 800+m away. Hillock possibly created when the then UK's largest cafe (now an insurance office) was built -with its view of the original Severn Crossing Bridge. A survey pillar on the summit is presumably associated with the bridge construction.Chris Pearson06/02/2017
as for Gordonarranc20/01/2016
Fortunately I visited when bagging Aust Hill. It just seemed too obvious a hill to ignore and added to the walk's interest. Had a nice view of the bridge and then walked through the wood, along the river and over pasture to the original Tump.Herbert Anchovy15/09/2015
