Parked on verge near petrol station to south, up road then FP to top with flag and bench.PeterD17/10/2022
A circular walk on ROWs and minor roads starting from the minor road to the North of the hill.johnbarnard2516/09/2022
Here in a wet and gusty squall. Bench and nearby damaged topograph. Good viewpoint.Denise 11/04/2022
Path crosses summit which feels to be a lumpy area of grassed over mine workings. Good views. In field to N is a stone built base for a topograph but a cryptic sign implies it was intended for, but not permitted on the summit. Sadly the topograph itself is missing.RichardM10/04/2022
Parked in the small car park in Trelawnyd at SJ 0907 7982 & up Gop Hill. From Gop Hill, road walk to start of RoW to SW, over stile & up RoW to summit & wood/wrought iron bench. Headed back to village on RoW across fields; this emerges on Chapel Street, just below the car park. After RoW crosses to S. side of fence, the ground was churned up by horses, but OK as reasonably dry.gerrybowes08/04/2022
From Gop Hill. Along minor roads and up RoW from ssw. Welcome bench at summit! KeithByTheC04/03/2022
2/2 Gop Hill and then on to Bryn yr Odyn from the little car park in Trelawynd. Very easy little walk and interesting especially the second oldest mound in Britain on first hill.nickywood131/10/2021

Intricate topograph to NE of summit. No views todaycarole engel02/12/2017
Parked to ENE at start of f/p, OK at first then lost the path and went through the ghastly mud. Coming back, passed the indicator and f/p is easier to follow.Aye Jimmy29/11/2017
Me and Alf.Don't bother heading for houses just aim straight for the corner of the field to join Clwydian Way by steep hilljrj25/01/2017
From Gop Hill and used FP easily from WSW. Tried to use path shown on map running back SW to village, but it just stops at the back gardens and doesn't continue ! Someone from Italy has painted the summit bench ?Mark Sims23/01/2017
On walk with Holywell Ramblers from Trelawnyd. Excellent viewpoint but hazy on the day,JohnIvor04/01/2017
Parked on the verge opposite the fp from the SW. It's not really wide enough but I was only there about 10 minutes.clivevilla02/01/2017
A pleasant tour of St Elmo's Summer House, Bryn-yr-odyn and Gop Hill (respectively) from Prestatyn Rail Station.summitsup31/03/2016
From NE, desperately muddy cattle-trashed approach. Nice scenic spot, my final Flint tump.RHW19/12/2015
Roadside bagging with Dugswell.Smudge13/11/2015
Parked on minor road to the ENE then used muddy footpath towards summit with Smudge.Dugswell213/11/2015
Short walk from NE. Impressive viewfinder close to summit.RobertP09/08/2015
Continuation of walk from Gop Hill (Bryn Gop). Circumnavigated Bryn Gop back to lane on eastern side. Followed this north-east over crossroads, and then took Pilgrims' Way up to Tyddyn Uchaf farm. Then by muddy RoW on tracks to fine viewfinder and summit. Descended to Brynteryn and then lane NNW and RoW through fields and housing estate back to car park in Trelawnyd.Man of Kernow111/03/2014
Following on from the summit at St. Elmo's summer house i followed the Clwydian to a minor road at SJ094812. I took the road opposite and then the footpath at SJ095809. This meets another minor road (between Trelawnyd and Llanasa). I turned right and climbed the stile at the end of the field that leads to a track. I turned right and followed footpath signs to take me to the summit. There is a viewfinder set back from the summit. It is absolutely loaded with information. You can beautiful landscapes from here. There is a bench too!Dazingdale26/10/2013
