| Final hill of 14km circuit from Great Witley, continuing from Rodge hill by taking parallel footpath via pasture back to road then footpath Ne of quarry that climbs up before heading East and then onto another fp that headas North, I climbed over a horse feature to get over fence then walked parallel with path till I was able to climb embankment and walk along to pyramid. I visited high point to the West as well before dropping onto a path that links up with the footpath and I followed footpaths all the way back to Great Witley... | Dazingdale | 25/11/2023 |

| With Myrddyn Phillips on his day off Abberley hill survey | vegibagger | 05/04/2022 |
| On a walk from Great Witley, taking in Woodbury, Rodge Hill, Walsgrove Hill and Abberley Hills. A fine hillfort on a lovely morning, although the 'no footpath' signs diminished the joys of what would have been a very good site. Onwards to Rodge Hill. | thesweetcheat | 02/04/2022 |
| Parked to the north. Good tracks to cairn. Many signs saying 'no footpath', ignore them. | Play2End | 05/03/2022 |

| From the N, dirt parking for 2 cars at SO 7498 6547 - provided the 1st car doesn't just dump itself in the centre of the space!!!! RoW disects the hill fort. Took a circuit round the W side of the fort. Large old cairn-like structure at summit. | jonglew | 31/12/2020 |

| Hp is on ancient defensive embankment, marked by 2.5m high pyramidal stone cairn with initials JFCB. Trees obscure the view. | Denise | 21/03/2018 |
| By path from the SSW to iron age hill fort planted with conifer forest and apparently no access issues. 2.5m pyramid stone monument on top of bank feels most appropriate high point though west end of the bank is of similar height. | RichardM | 21/03/2018 |
| From the west. Complex row into wood next to horse farm and stables. Up wooded cross country gallops to top with crumbling pyramid adjacent. | Campbell Singer | 18/07/2017 |
| 18km 5hr walk over 3 tumps with L and the collie dogs Spot and Jess from our farm sit 3 day weekend to the east. We were feeling very peckish having no lunch with us, (began to wonder what was in dog biscuits we carried! And later L munched happily on oil seed rape seeds and flowers) We could sympathise with the Welsh/ French army of Owain Glyn Dwr who for 8 days in 1405 stood here and stared at the army of Henry IV one mile away, before hunger forced them to retreat without giving battle (their supply lines being cut) | Chris Pearson | 30/04/2017 |
| From north to the summit pyramid which looks like it could collapse at any moment. Paths through the wood but a few fences to get over. | Herbert Anchovy | 15/09/2016 |
| From North along FP and then track to west to the obelisk on the earth bank. Also went further west along bank, but no higher. | PeterD | 17/04/2016 |

| Parked easily at the T junction to the NE. Path then track. With there being ramparts it is tricky to work out the natural top but the pyramid will do. Pleasant walk. | destaylor | 01/11/2013 |

| Parked at the Hundreds House Hotel and did a round of Woodbury Hill and Abberley Hill in the snow. | rhalstead | 24/03/2013 |
| From road and paths to the south in considerable snow and failing light. Reached what I thought was the top but the actual top was down a dip and up again. Glad there was a definite cairn to look for. | clivevilla | 22/01/2013 |
| Approached via a footpath from the south. Some of the 'stiles' looked suspiciously like cross country horse fences. The ancient summit is just a few yards off a major path. | JohnStoneham | 26/08/2012 |
