As Campell Singer, drove up Ffinnant's driveway for about 100m & parked in field gateway - Headed a bit further up drive to gate by cattle grid & then up through fabulous open woodland to the hillfort summit. Care needed when reversing back onto the main road. | gerrybowes | 19/11/2022 |
Early morning before sunrise. Drove up driveway to west and parked in field gateway about 100 ms from busy road. Easy walk up through pleasant woodland keeping fence to south. Impressive fort. | Campbell Singer | 10/02/2022 |
Parked at 21261 20379, went up a driveway and then up through open woodland to an impressive hill fort summit. | clivevilla | 05/01/2021 |
Descended from Winllan Hill with Jon and Adrian. Then into farm yard/stables on non-signed footpath. Farmer asked for a toll to be paid to use his footpath however he had no card machine. Followed the footpath round before eventually heading up the lovely wood to the summit. Then back down to the west the the gate into wood before heading back along the road to the village. | Dugswell2 | 25/11/2018 |
From Winllan Hill via road, footpath and wood with several others. Fine hill. Descended steeply through trees to B4393 and back to Llansantffraidd. | Wycombe Wanderer | 25/11/2018 |
With others from the Workhouse party after Winllan Hill. | Smudge | 25/11/2018 |
3/5 solo. Parked near Gwernolau reservoir. No Nimbys or Gomlers today on this steep little tumpet, but I did have to navigate 8 or so fields each with varying amounts of sheep or horses in them - quite a labyrinth. Fancy hill with steep ramparts, probably fab for sledging. | tumpawumpa | 15/10/2017 |
From s, straight up from road thru open woodland, tranquil pasture summit with neat rocky knoll at hp. Nice grassy primrosey descent sw then back along road, parked in estate opposite cemy. | RHW | 27/03/2017 |
Received a scathing after-the-event GOML tongue lashing on the road to the east. Best to be extra wary when visiting this hill. Otherwise it's an easy ascent from the track to the west. | Alex C | 22/04/2016 |
As suggested by MT. Came at hill from main road. Access via track to Ffinnant. 10m up the track forks. Took right fork and up to b/w fence. Over and then straight up through beech wood and sea of primroses. Summit has a special secret place feel to it. Not somewhere that gets many visitors i dare say. | stig_nest | 19/04/2016 |
Parked on the verge on minor road north of Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain (SJ 21830 21421) and took a rather circuitous route by the green way down to Ffinant. Then by fields and track south along the western flank of the hill. Near a cattle grid, a gate gives access to the beech wood. Then steeply up through the ramparts of the hill-fort to the unmarked summit. Returned much the same way. Not a route I'd recommend - too many barbed wire fences, locked gates and nettles to negotiate. Better would be to park in a lay-by just beyond Pont y Forwyn where a disused railway track joins the road (at about SJ 20733 20547). Then take road east to join the track running down the west flank of the hill. With MP on an evening walk/survey. | Man of Kernow1 | 04/09/2015 |
