Parked at the village hall in Much Birch and followed a Country Walking magazine course, removing the bit to and from Wormelow Tump. Easy Marilyn but made a reasonable 8 mile walk. Very boggy in November. | gbeniston | 07/11/2023 |
Parked at the village hall, near the chapel to the S (by donation). Followed a very boggy path to the trig. No views because of the trees. Woods are owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Solo. | richard69 | 05/11/2023 |

5 Marilyns from base in Ludlow. Aconbury Hill, Garway Hill, Ruardean Hill, May Hill, and Seager Hill. Ruardean Hill was almost a drive by, Seager Hill was a bit of a nettle fest. The other three made the day. | Longwojo | 10/06/2023 |

4/5 Marilyns today, Parked directly in front of Chapel, only enough space for 1 car, path diagonal up, then through gate on right, path up to top then right to trig | Tribal2er | 05/03/2023 |
MC Up and down in 15mins from the church in the last light of the day. Nice hill. Very muddy. Good evidence of hill fort at the top. | Martin66 | 09/01/2023 |

Car service in Tewkesbury, so persuaded Shaky into driving around 4 Gloucestershire & Herefordshire Marilyns for the day. Glorious weather. After May Hill, Ruardean Hill & Garway Hill, time was running out to get back to Tewkesbury when we arrived at Little Birch village hall. Couldn't find the donation box, but we were only here for 20 minutes anyway as we ran up & down Aconbury Hill as fast as the mud would allow. A shame because the earthworks on top looked interesting. Just about made it back to Tewkesbury before my car got locked up for the night! | NotReallyABagger | 22/02/2022 |
Parked at village hall as other suggest. There are a choice of routes up through the woods to the summit. Impressive and extensive earthworks surround. Definately a nice bag. | Pete West | 15/02/2022 |
Parked at the village hall like others and then just a short wander up through the trees to the top. Nice enough, nothing exciting. | nickywood1 | 05/02/2022 |
Parked at Little Birch / King's Thorn village Hall. Trig point recently painted. | PeteN | 25/11/2021 |

Parked outside Little Birch Village Hall - signage states this is fine but to leave a donation in the tin. Given a second sign stated all events postponed til further notice (due to covid) no sign of anyone nor the tin). Walked down to the church then up the public footpath. Nice gently stroll to the summit. | jamiequackers | 16/07/2021 |

Delightful early Sunday morning in glorious spring sunshine with the bluebells out in full. Not in any hurry at all, and happy to just laze away half an hour or more taking it all in just a short distance from the summit trig. | Twice Shy | 02/05/2021 |
Wooded hilltop with hillfort. good views to north | freethehilltops | 15/04/2021 |

Parked at village hall in return for a small donation. Paths rather a mudfest, but managed to stay upright. Write-up at: http://gayleybird.blogspot.com/2020/11/hill-bagging-in-herefordshire.html | Gayle | 03/11/2020 |
Easy. From the village hall. | Play2End | 30/10/2020 |

Annoyed because roads were shut making it very difficult to find a way of getting here. Huge detour and massively behind schedule. Parked at community centre and quick walk to top through trees | ketzster | 30/06/2020 |
