1st of 4 hills on a 14km circuit from Great Witley, parking in a cul-de-sac off Stourport road then walking along main road to take fp up Nne then curving round to take Fp Nw then NE to join main ridge heading to summit. I visited ground either side of the fence to be sure. Lovely views across to Walsgrove hill, my next target, following the Geopark way... | Dazingdale | 25/11/2023 |

Parked in village hall, 746678. Went up Row through the middle of the village wood. Hideously muddy and slippy. After summit returned by the roads. | iangalbraith | 27/11/2022 |
Along the Worcestershire Way from the NW. A few yards further and there's a good view of Abberley Hall School and its clock tower. | Newton Maximus | 13/07/2022 |
Final hill of four, after Woodbury, Rodge Hill and Walsgrove. After a lovely morning it snowed as I was heading past the clock tower. A really nice hill, although the views are restricted by the woods. | thesweetcheat | 02/04/2022 |
From Abberley. Warm and sunny. No rifraf around these parts. | Play2End | 05/06/2021 |
10km circuit from Great Witley Village Hall: Abberley Hill - Walsgrove Hill - Woodbury Hill. | Tony J | 30/05/2021 |
Parked near salt bin on Wynniates Way. Steep woodland path 100m to the west on the Worcestershire Way takes you all the way to the summit. Option of a steeper hillbaggers path half way up which would be rude to not use. Descended down the Worcestershire Way taking opportunity to walk over high ground to the west which seems to be lower anyway. | mntainman | 16/04/2021 |

Parked to west. Good path all the way. Stroll - good little hill. | destaylor | 04/01/2011 |
It took all day for me to bag this one probably becasue I did the 30 geocaches nearby at the same time. Nice wooded hill with good views from top. Highest point about a meter or two from the trig point I think. | Father Ted | 12/09/2010 |
Nice walk up on well signed path.

A look around Abberley village with its history dating back to Offa, then up the steep lane and along the delightful wooded ridge, sunny with views so early in the year- The Whimble clear on the Radnor Hills in the clear air. Took the payth, then track, down to Brookend to return. With Pete and Mom | pwheeler | 04/03/2000 |

On Worcestershire Way. Column adopted by walking club. | arranc | 04/04/1998 |
Left Galloway Solway firth early morning two days before to drive all way down to check cols for Abberley hill and then all way down to Milk hill col. Today left parents in Cheltenham to actually climb Abberley Hill itself. As I'm pulling on my boots, pull a muscle in my back which momentarily seizes up and significantly frightens me and I wince with pain. Gingerly finish lacing and carefully stand up and can't straighten my spine properly. Hobble very carefully up the hill. Ground drops steeply down to the north for 100m or so. To the south three other slightly lower wooded tops grace the skyline. | vegibagger | 12/03/1997 |
Walked the Worcestershire Way in one day, 36 miles | Victor | 08/04/1990 |
Estimated date as no log kept. Climbed from the valley. An enjoyable day. | ijpowell | 01/07/1987 |
Probably summited between 1966 and 1969, but not definitely until about 30 years later. | Topographer57 | 01/06/1968 |
Haven't been in this neck of the woods for a while, what a lovely part of Worcestershire! 18km run along with Rodge Hill and Walsgrove Hill. | sturuss | blank |
