Parked close by, visited mound by road and ventured to other possible HP in pet graveyard and a nearby earthbank. | PeterD | 04/03/2023 |
From big car park to north | vegibagger | 08/10/2022 |
A few metres east of road verge in pleasant woodland. | Campbell Singer | 31/03/2019 |
The nearby Haldon Belvedere ( white turreted castle/memorial 1788 with public access to grounds and tower open some Sunday afternoons) is the highlight here albeit it is a little lower than the actual HP. The indistinct HP is in woodland close to the road- layby for easy parking as well as by Belvedere. | Denise | 28/01/2019 |
Ground crossed by earth bank in woodland N of the road feels higher than the area in vacinity of the road. A short walk to the N, the impressive Haldon Belvedere is on a much better, albeit lower, hill and commands excellent views - no access issues. | RichardM | 28/01/2019 |

HP seemed to be on NE verge of minor road. | jonglew | 17/11/2014 |
The summit was covered in waist high nettles at this time of year. I forced a way through but got well stung. | Chris Peart | 12/06/2014 |
On way back from Joshua's open day. He didn't bother getting out. | simon and co | 06/04/2014 |
equal with Colleywell Hill - on road! | arranc | 22/03/2014 |
Bagged Haldon Belvedere after Doddiscombsleigh Hill and then pick this one up on the way to Buller's Hill. | Dugswell2 | 24/03/2012 |
Easy bag after a wonderful & transformative 4 days at Embercombe (just around the corner). Parked by roadside and went to mound on side of road. Used a GPS to get an accurate 10 figure fix. | Gerry the Ranger | blank |
