| Parked in Bwlch, although there is space to park up top of road. Followed FP to its highest point then entered wood near permanent orienteering marker. I headed up directly but should have gone 100m further SW. found trig point not far beyond unusual tall pile of rocks. | PeterD | 14/01/2024 |
| Run with Pauline from the small space at the RH bend at top of Buckland Lane .. lovey 2 mile autumnal loop but this is the bag from hell and not one to do in shorts .. we gave up on the trig although we were very close and at least Summit Bag said yes | milejunkie | 07/11/2023 |
| 13mile walk with Peggy, beautiful sunny day | davecnash | 13/09/2023 |
| Short linear walk to the hill and back to bag the trig point, which was challenging to get to because the dense and thorny bramble, overgrown bracken and trees have concealed the footpaths. We literally had to fight our way through the thicket. I would recommend using a GPS to find this particular trig point! Parking: Small layby opposite a large farm gate at the foot of Buckland Hill | manilena | 26/06/2023 |

| Climbed on evening walk, could not find the trig point anywhere, presumably it was knocked over when the trees were felled.Lots of brambles everywhere, nonetheless managed to reach the highest point(GPS stated 318m).Note to anyone else climbing this hill, DO NOT BOTHER WITH THE TRIG.You will end up getting a full body bramble acupuncture! | freethehilltops | 27/10/2022 |
| Morning dog walk and Boulder at the Buckland boulders. | highlandrock | 22/03/2022 |
| From Bwlch, followed Beacons Way for a short while then up path to common. Over bwf, & then the fun started. Took 40 mins of severe bushwacking to find the trig. Not one for shorts or summer. Brambles from hell. | DanMaisieBex | 29/08/2021 |

| From the footpath to the south in the field, over makeshift stile into the wood and then followed previous advice, headed west initially parallel to the wall before heading towards trig. A good one for Winter/Spring. | Father Ted | 10/04/2021 |
| Parked on the right angle bend on the A40 to the east. Beacons WAy then left and right across a lane before hitting the edge of the forest. If you cross the wall and fence at SO 13949 21171 do not go straight for the top as I did initially. Go west a bit inside the wall and fence and the approach is a bit easier. It is still quite hard going and you do not see the trig until you are very close. | clivevilla | 29/09/2020 |

| From parking at SO146219, an easy walk on a good path followed by a final brambly thrash to the trig. | Tony J | 21/04/2018 |

| Parked on Buckland Hill (lane). Great views across valley on walk up. Summit in woods which is accessible by makeshift stile and hole in fence | Ramblingpaul | 11/10/2015 |
| From Bwlch pleasant walk along forest boundary to convenient point where fence and stone wall can be crossed at SO 13949 21171 to enter forest. Plenty of bramble, fern and branches to negotiate on forest floor but not too difficult. | jonglew | 17/08/2014 |

| trig pillar in dense woodland took some time finding it impossible to decided if their was alternative high points due to the dense woodland. | hodder | 08/10/2008 |
| Completed an epic hill walking 21 miles from Bwlch to Llanbedr pub bagging Buckland Hill, Mynydd Llangorse, Mynydd Troed and Mynydd Llysiau. Didn't see anybody all day. Trig on Buckland Hill took a lot of finding in dense woodland. | DanTrig | 23/07/2008 |

| Pete and I organised ourselves with 2 cars and did a walk from Llangyndir to Cockit Hill (the pass btw Mynydd Troed and Llangorse Mountain) via this hill and Llangorse Mountain. Very low cloud in the morning, but it burned off to give a day that felt like summer until we looked over the golden glow on the bracken. This was the new part of our walk, a lovely traverse of Buckland Hill to Bwlch, and a bit of 'mindlessflogging' through dense larch looking for the summit (successfully in the end) | pwheeler | 10/10/2005 |
