Following morning on the main Malvern ridge from Cut Throat Lane parking at junction. Up over Bradlow Knoll. | N.Morters | 10/02/2024 |
10th and final top of the day on a 31.76km traverse from Cradley to Ledbury, continuing from Oyster hill by heading Sw onto Geopark way where it joined a minor lane. I headed Se on the lane, stopping to don my headtorches in the now pouring rain and darkening sky. I took the footpath that lead into the Northern section of the hill and followed the Top path route over the summit. The rain was torrential and i lost my route just Sw of Bradlow knoll at one point sliding a few metres on a mudbank and getting cramp in my left inner thigh at the same time as dropping my headtorch. Eventually i managed to intercept the Geopoark way trail on the Western edge and followed the path out to the main road and from there a bit further South to where my car was parked. | Dazingdale | 28/10/2023 |
Mountain biking from Eastnor and Rob D, Michael, Mark, Tom, Oli, Rod and Dave. | Rob Rees | 27/10/2023 |
08:30, 17-20 degrees, humid and overcast. Nice wooded ridge. | Wycombe Wanderer | 01/10/2023 |
A pleasant stroll up from Ledbury station on a bright winter afternoon. Still weak from Covid, the initial climb up to Bradlow Knoll took it out of me a bit, but it was lovely once up in the woods. I walked the length of the summit ridge then dropped down to the east, followed up with a look at Kilbury Camp Iron Age fort before heading back to Ledbury. | thesweetcheat | 23/01/2023 |
At the Feathers Hotel for New Year. Circular walk over Frith Hill with Syd and Peach. Very muddy through fields on return leg | climbingkershaw | 31/12/2022 |
From the north. Not the best view but really enjoyed the walk up. The woods were alive with birds. | sturuss | 29/07/2022 |
From the South, Cut Throat Lane, up over Bradlow Knoll and on to relocated top. Nice shady woodland walk on a hot day. | NormanW | 11/07/2022 |

Ledbury - Mayhill - Woolpits Hill (unsuccessful) - Eastnor Hill - Frith Hill - Oyster Hill - Colwall. | Mark Jackson | 31/08/2021 |
First of two ascents today!!!!! Returned to van after visiting Bradley Knoll and decided to log before early finish and drive to campsite. 
If you are reading this between 3pm and 5pm on day of ascent I am on my way back to Frith Hill then on to Bradley Knoll!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr. 
Back from 2nd visit to Bradlow Knoll again, after first bagging Frith Hill. Took the lower track on the ascent then followed ridge through the woos back to Bradley Knoll. Best to visit both summits given may change again ;). | mntainman | 17/04/2021 |
Re-visit for relocated top, though to be honest almost certainly did it fisrt time round. Anyway, a fuller circuit of the hill this time, finding a good patch of wood vetch en-route. | milimana | 19/07/2020 |
Re-visit for new summit reference. Did the whole ridge and all possible high points. | andrew brown | 17/06/2020 |
Easy parking opposite T-junction to SSW at SO 7148 3855 - Up road to bend & then well-used RoW over Bradlow Knoll (former top) to the unmarked summit; this lies alongside RoW by an old & much coppiced ash tree. (S) | gerrybowes | 02/06/2020 |
Early morning bag and straightforward enough. | Alex C | 09/03/2020 |
Parked at SO723405, followed footpath and then track to summit. | Ramblingpaul | 18/07/2019 |
With K. Parked easily at T-junction/crossroads almost due S. Short and steep. Nice yew tree. | Ashley | 14/07/2018 |
After listening to the end of the Archers omnibus an ascent from the road to the SE Calls itself Bradlow Knoll on the stiffness at the summit. Think the name on here should be changed despite the name on the map. | vegibagger | 31/12/2017 |
Up ROW from the south, then along the dry leafy ridge path for a bit before returning by a lower path on the eastern side. Nice time of year to do this with at least some views through the bare trees. | milimana | 09/12/2017 |
Easy parking at road junction to south and up path to steps . No views but nice hill. | Mark Sims | 10/11/2017 |
From South up FP with steps near the top. | PeterD | 26/03/2017 |
W Jenx after calling in on Bryher. From Bradlow to south, up field and steps, carried on along ridge to old top and other rises for a mile, nice woodland, circled back using a lower FP | nordicstar | 18/03/2017 |
Pleasent walk across the grassy Eastnor Estate then over Kilbury Camp and a quick dash along side of field into 'access land' woods. Wooded summit with sign and well kept paths. Summit name has another attached 'Aka Gallow Hill' | RichardM | 17/03/2017 |
HP appeared to be brambly mound behind wooden sign saying Bradlow Knoll. Maintained paths to summit within deciduous woodland. No views. | Denise | 17/02/2017 |
Parked at top of lane at Bradlow and walked up field and along a delightful wooded ridge- sunny on a bright winter day. Just one little section at the N had been trashed by forest vehicles or horses so we used a forest road here rather than the footpath. Nice walk back via orchards with 1000+ Fieldfares gorging themselves on windfalls, and Ledbury, returning to the start by Church Street- a must. With Pete: his nearest unbagged Hu to his house in Warwick. | pwheeler | 27/12/2016 |
With Minnie from parking at jnc to south,steep but easy to top ?tops along ridge & back, warm, dry, sunny-nice. | apricorum | 17/04/2016 |
Quick jog up from ROW to the south. Parking at the junction just south of this. | simon and co | 17/04/2015 |
From Ledbury station to Colwall station via Bradlow Knoll and Oyster Hill. | summitsup | 09/04/2015 |
Parked on the road to the south and headed up over fields into the wood until I reached the Callow Hill sign. Found the much easier footpath from the summit for the route down. | Herbert Anchovy | 12/01/2015 |
4/8 Well maintained track up hill and through forest from village below. | Fergalh | 15/12/2014 |
Up from road to south. Checked out all three potential summits. | Chris Peart | 17/04/2014 |
Malvern Wells to Ledbury. Just enough time left to reconnoitre the two southern contour rings. | Smudge | 12/04/2014 |
Up ROW from road to South. There are even steps and a hand rail! | tim747 | 18/10/2013 |
With Tim 747, up through field from road corner to south, through woods, steps and handrail provided! Notice gibbet drawn on sign for hill. | CreakingHiker | 18/10/2013 |
From Ledbury, had fun in the maze of forest paths. | rhalstead | 10/03/2013 |
On the outskirts of Ledbury, we parked on the roadside close to the bottom of the hill. Sign at the hill summit states the alternative name of Bradlow Knoll, but someone has added 'aka Callow Hill' and they've drawn a gibbet and noose next to it, so was this a gallows hill in the past? ***Revisited 6 Jul 2020 afer summit was relocated. Parked SO 7149 3856, walked road NE then picked up RoW. Wooded HP on the path. | jonglew | 03/11/2012 |
Approaching from the south the start of the footpath is obscured by building work. | JohnStoneham | 18/03/2012 |
As Martin Richardson, parked at track entrance at SO 72088 40769. Walked SE along minor road to public footpath over whole of wooded ridge and back. | Dugswell2 | 25/11/2011 |
12/11/11 New summit; 30/12/01 old summit: pleasant hill, decid wdld, minimal view, pleasant walk in delightful setting. fp from 723406 (parking) | RHW | 12/11/2011 |
442/444 Did the whole ridge to avoid being caught out by future tampering. Not convinced that the B Knoll is higher - neither was my GPS. Liked the gallows. | Martin R | 24/08/2011 |
Parked at junction to S. ROW to top. | chrisbien | 17/07/2011 |
Parked at track entrance at SO 72088 40769. Walked SE along minor road to public footpath over wooded ridge. Highest point now deemed to be Bradlow Knoll at southern end of ridge 4m S of path (SO 71623 39042) | David Gradwell | 23/04/2011 |
walked up from so 71566 38718 just past cut throat lane, this allowed for some walking through fields with views back to ledbury.Reached the sign for Bradlow knoll and walked along the entire summit ridge.Summit very near footpath | hodder | 19/04/2011 |
From S on RH bend. Footpath sign overgrown but there. Good path all the way. Impossible to work out the true top. | destaylor | 11/09/2010 |
Walk up on WDP from Bradlow | arranc | 15/04/2010 |
I agree the top seems to be on the path and that there are no views. Oyster Hill to the north is a better walk and had a good trigpoint on it. | Father Ted | 13/02/2010 |
Top is more or less on the path. | clivevilla | 23/08/2009 |
