A nice summit to bag whilst on a walk around the Sheepwalks with Alma Aurea. There are some nice views up here, although better from other places than the summit. /Dmeltdiceburg01/12/2023

Part of the Enville Hall estate who describe their working estate as situated amongst the rolling hills and valleys which lie between the Rivers Severn and Stour, with the land rising to over 600 feet on top of the Sheep Walk. From here one can see the Black Mountains in Wales, The Wrekin, the Malvern Hills and many other ranges. Certainly a nice lovely open stroll from the road junction. A Country Code sign on the gate had observe social distancing rules as an added rule to follow -will this become a permanent feature of life -always in the background? Covid rates are rising again post Omicron but few hospital admissions thanks to the jabs and boosters - and all rules now relaxed it seems. Plenty of room to spread out and social distance on Sheepwalks Hill -no need to flock together - despite the name.Chris Pearson23/03/2022
14.5km circular run over Sheepwalks and Kinver Edgesturuss10/01/2021
5 minutes walk from the parking makes this an easy hill suitable for almost anyone to try. HEMA radio activation worked well on 2m FM. We brought chairs. No sheep today but there was a great hord of thistles. Ann-Charlotte and I also did the circular walk in the afternoon from the Cat Inn, Enville passing over Sheep walks hill.M0YDH17/10/2020

4th tump of 6 on a 23 mile route from Wombourne to Hagley station, climbing Blackhill, Ridgehill and Hampton Valley Hill(including the North top) then West on a fp through the Million, a short stretch of the A458 then Sw to Sheepwalks lane veering off on a footpath to climb the ridge. Beautiful day to be here with Globe thistle and old oak trees beyond. Recorded 210m on my gps at the grassy rise. Onwards to Kinver Edge via Herons gate road...Dazingdale01/07/2018

Parked near top, as others. Lovely views on a cold day- unusual aspect of The Maverns, almost end on so Worcs Beacon looked like a great pyramid.pwheeler04/02/2018
First ascent was in the summer of 1971 on an evening walk with a friend. Returned to confirm that I had reached the exact summit. Excellent views and walks here. Sunny weather but narrow, muddy roads after recent rain.JohnW12/11/2017

Lovely circular walk from NT Kinver via Kinver Edge to Sheepwalks Hill and back. Easy access to sheep pasture from the lane.sooztops02/10/2016
With friends from pub car park, through Enville estate. Unspectacular but still a very pleasant walk with good views of the surrounding hills (all of which we have now bagged). Highlight was probably The Cat Inn at the end - what a great pub!Stuzinho13/08/2016

With Cal and Fred. Bob carried. Parked at corner of the field to SW(there's a nice sensible space), and walked up the gentle slope to the flattish top. I think highest point is not far from the field boundary.Ham and Skate19/09/2015

a second top visited following on from Walton Hill no way home to Oswestry having been in Warwick for work. a squelchy hill - plenty of sheep , they looked at me like i was nuts.. there was a large sheep poo marking the top today - coincidence i think / hope. bet there's a fair view on a clear day but very murky and dull at about 5.20pm today.stig_nest06/02/2014

Kinver - Alveley. Was planning to do this in the opposite direction but signal failure at Old Hill altered the logistics.Smudge21/12/2012
This is so straightforward a walk from the road junction that the only easier summits must lie on a road.JohnStoneham26/08/2012
