Whilst walking the English Coast Path. Severn Bridge to Avonmouth. Up past the Travelodge | fosal29 | 27/02/2024 |
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. | hodder | 25/07/2023 |
Quick loop of Aust Cliff and Aust Hill, 2 very unassuming summits although Aust Cliff has the benefit of a nice view of the bridge | lboutside | 11/06/2023 |

Walk up from services. | JazDisney | 20/07/2020 |
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. | dicky | 06/07/2020 |
Travelodge Car Park. A lovely top. | Rob Rees | 31/12/2019 |
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. | clivevilla | 15/10/2019 |
From the Travelodge carpark, then visited Aust Hill and the site of the long departed Aust Cliff trig. | Aye Jimmy | 30/06/2019 |
From the Travelodge car park up the grassy slope to the high point | Mariana Trench | 15/05/2019 |
From the Service Station car park, walked up through the petrol station and Travel Lodge car park and up the slope to first see the non-OS pillar then this top. Nice to see a service station with a view. | Father Ted | 23/04/2019 |

Behind service station with bridge survey pillar near picnic bench on grassy mound. | cjo | 21/04/2017 |
Rather ridiculous that I didn't tramp up this and find the surprising Vanessa, when I came last year to do the other hill. C'est la vie | vegibagger | 18/04/2017 |
Bagged whilst on way to Nottingham. Easy win | Ramblingpaul | 17/04/2017 |

Not as good as Aust Hill. | andrew brown | 16/03/2017 |
On way home from work. Short walk from Travelodge car park. Good view of the old bridge. | PeterD | 10/03/2017 |
Parked in top block of Travel Lodge: Splendid views of the estuary | GordonAdshead | 09/03/2017 |
Parked up at services then an easy stroll to the summit and then the Vanessa like Severn Bridge trig point with Iain Brown. | Dugswell2 | 08/03/2017 |
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). | RHW | 25/02/2017 |
Parked at motorway services and ascended the new top. Followed path through the woods and across fields to the old top. | webmaster | 19/02/2017 |
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 Pearson | 06/02/2017 |
as for Gordon | arranc | 20/01/2016 |
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 Anchovy | 15/09/2015 |
Visited again 25/06/2015 with Paul Hackett | Dusty | 25/02/2008 |
