Walked up from Goodrich on a pleasant summer's day walk to English Bicknor via Coppet and Huntsham Hills and Yat Rock. Steep up to the trig, then a nice walk along the ridge, doubling back into the woods for the highpoint. Terrific views across Herefordshire and a nice aerial view of the Queen Stone. Dropped down to the west, down to Huntsham Bridge (nasty road to walk along), then followed the Wye to the bottom of Huntsham Hill which I climbed next.thesweetcheat11/06/2021

Indistinct HP within oak and beech coppice behind folly within Coppet Hill Nature Reserve. Path to ruined folly and trig. The fog cleared as we sat and ate turkey sandwiches on the ridge and the views were lovely.Traffic noise slightly intrusive. Parked in Goodrich Village by school then went to Goodrich Hostelrie, very pleasant, for lunchtime drink ( garden, muddy boots OK inside.Denise 08/01/2016
The road that runs along the higher north east of the the hill comes to a small quarry where a path on the right,north, side winds it's easy up to the trig pillar that is on the north shoulder about30+m lower than the summit in the woods to the south.With Colin Henshall from Tewkesbury.vegibagger02/11/2015

Parked in a disused quarry to the east and then took the local nature reserve footpath through the woods. Visited the ruin and the high point in the woods and then the trig point (in case I ever diversify and become a trig bagger). Rather splendid views on a susprisingly sunny day.Herbert Anchovy14/11/2014

Up the path from the east. This isn't a through road and you need to approach from the north. Bit of roadside parking.simon and co28/02/2014
Parked to east, path to top. I thought the ruin was the summit, although the landranger map indicates the 200m contour ring is in the wood.Chris Peart20/09/2013
Visited with Bib, Di & Nige. Last visited in 2006 when we bagged the trig.lozinworcester16/03/2013
Park near the castle and made the short climb, wonder around in the wood but think the folly is highest.rhalstead27/01/2013
Pleasant walk up from Goodrich. We parked in the National Heritage car park for £2 (daily rate refundable if you pay to go into the castle), but there is parking on the roadside if you don't want to pay. OS maps don't show any public rights of way on the hill, but seems to be common access land as plenty of people up there.jonglew06/10/2012
A nice honest climb. Obvious summit.JohnStoneham25/03/2012

walked up from goodrich along the footpath along the flanks of the hill,then along the ridge to the folly which makes a good summit feature and a quick look at the ridge in the woods. The open landscape provides a pleasant walking environment, a fine hillhodder02/03/2010
Do this hill on a good weather day, the views to the north should be good.andrew brown14/11/2009
Nature reserve pathways to summit area. Slight bank in open woods just beyond the ruin appeared to be high point. N.B. Stowfield bridge closed for repair at moment!Smudge28/03/2009

Sub-marilyn bagging on a strange route south to Ditchling then IOW from Sheffield (Oct half term of 1st term at Myers Grove). Should have been doing the KIMM as usual but had been forced to pull out with an injured foot - still mending , but OK for walking. IOW next day.Chris Pearson28/10/2002
From Goodrich took the quick route on paths to the trig and then the top.garyhoney17/03/2002
We brought Mom up here for the views- a superb clear day, bright after showers. Pete and I continued along the ridge top- open and fine to start, deteriorating to thick vegetation later on (NB- in 2000). Arrival by the river, below Yat Rock was spectacular. On a day with few people about, it felt like a secret place. Nice walk back by river to Goodrich Castle which we enjoyed with Mom and Dad, then Simonds Yat viewpoint, which we had to ourselves and the Peregrine Falconspwheeler17/09/2000
