We've started to do county tops to break long car journeys. Today was the turn of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. From the NT carpark, a short walk to the hill fort; interesting and the White Horse also interesting and back. 3.5km circuit including a few geocaches. | RowanP | 29/06/2023 |
Tackled in snow - beautiful, but couldn't see the White Horse! | SlopingOff | 08/03/2023 |

From the bus stop at Longcot Turn, crossed the busy A420 and walked south into Longcot. From Longcot, a serene 2 miles over flat, barren farmland and under the railway bridge without seeing a single soul, then onto Marsh Way into Woolstone. From Woolstone a steep ascent up the lane, past the car park and up to the clearly marked summit. Nice views to the north. | hillbagger91 | 03/12/2022 |

Treated me and my cousin too Oxfordshire's county top after Hampshire and Berkshire were fairly disappointing. Very friendly and easy to do the summit with no problems. | DavidHiner | 12/07/2021 |

Loop of Whitehorse Hill with Dragon Hill via The Giants Stair. | peter_tun | 04/08/2020 |
Parked on Lambourne Valley Way at corner with Dragonhill Road, near locked gates to fort car park - suspect due to covid measures. 
Walked south along LVW turning right on to The Ridgeway approaching summit area from the south. 
Headed for the trig over high ground 10m to the south but trig most likely on man made ground (3000 years ago). 
Wandered all over raised area through long dry grass to the east on which somewhere is highest natural ground. 
Then walked circumference of` fort on ramparts because a.)that is what I like to do, b.) highest point is somewhere on the ramparts. 
Returned to van via Dragonhill Road. | mntainman | 20/07/2020 |
Full of people with nothing else to do on a Saturday afternoon because of the Coronavirus shutdown. | AllanAndAbby | 21/03/2020 |

From NT car park, up to the trig, round the castle, on to Dragon Hill and then to the Blowing Stone. Returned to trig and then on to Waylands Smithy before return to car park. | Mickeyfinn | 01/12/2019 |
Walked from the car park across to Dragon Hill then up past the white horse to the fort. Great day (for November) for a picnic on the top then lap of the earthworks to be sure of getting the highest point. Then stopped by the Blowing Stone in Kingston Lisle and finally got a note out of it | ekm | 10/11/2019 |

On own. From the NT pay and display car park on Woolstone Hill. Up via The Ridgeway and over to trig point. Wandered around Uffington Castle grassy mounds which are clearly higher than trig point but man made. Interesting site. Very peaceful early morning with great views N. Back across fields to car park. | Beeliner | 21/03/2019 |

1st of 2 tumps today,detouring off Stage 3 of the Ridgeway with Lesley on our walk from Hinton Parva to East Challow. Our airbnb host dropped us off where we veered off the Ridgeway the day before. Wonderful blue skies! I visited the vague natural summit on the return before continuing on the Ridgeway to Sparsholt Down. | Dazingdale | 24/09/2018 |
