Drove up the minor road and parked at the top about 50m from the trig point. The entrance is beside the farm. Not the private house.smocks and denims12/03/2024
On grassy bank, unmarked. Trig S3694 nearby. Holiday cottages with pool and spa. Welcoming. Drove to parking place by trig, good view. Busy.Denise 02/02/2024
Many thanks to the owners of the farm and holiday cottage complex for giving a friendly welcome to those visiting the summit and trig. We drive down the drive and park close to the trig pillar, a lot of cars around today. High point is mound / bank on hedge line on W side of lawn, N of the trig.RichardM02/02/2024
Drove up to parking area, visited trig and HP, no one around.robertphillips16/12/2023
As Aye Jimmy says, read https://www.trigpointing.uk/trig/1097 before visiting. Thanks Alun!Matt26/07/2023
4/7 Medley of small hills in a sunny afternoon. Verge parking just outside the entrance to the spa. Then walked up the drive to the HP at the edge of the lawn, and the trig which has a good view.silveracorn_alan30/05/2023
With Jo, from the Complex car park, with thanks to the owner (Alun). Weather; overcast, mild, good views.amblerbob29/04/2023
Roadside verge parking immediately E of entrance to the up market holiday park. Walked through to the trig and adjacent high point, probably could have driven in and parked next to it.jonglew21/08/2022
Drove in and parked by trig (spa busy today). Short walk to topBramley15/04/2022
Parked at the entrance to the posh holiday lets and walked up the drive.Andrew Simmons27/02/2022
Parked on road 200m to E and approached through the wood.JohnR13/08/2021
A day of visiting beacons and beacon hills (only some of which qualify here as a hill or tump). This one has a proper metal beacon brazier and excellent views to to the south. Trees have grown up since this was a WW1 airfeild so no view to the North.M3WDD25/07/2021
Parked within 25m of summit and nearby trig. Flimsy croquet hoops - clearly for fun rather than serious play.mae04/11/2020
Friendly place, some mild ribbing about trigs. Many thanks.fasgadh17/08/2019
Thanks to the owner a drive in (almost) hill. Permissable to access the trig via his driveway, using one of the parking places to get out and visit it.moorsman30/07/2019
A drive-by on my mission to bag every Beacon Hill in the UK. Parked on the road, walked up the drive past the holiday lets and spa. Saw a groundsman and asked for permission to visit the trig which he readily gave. Great views to south and south-east. Breezy dry day. Sonja stayed in the car.Skip04/06/2019
Me and Bryher. Asked permission and readily given, parking just out on minor road, short stroll to summit and trig. Great views to the southnordicstar13/11/2017
Parked 30m from summit which is at side of a lawn. Trig S3694 only 15m further away but lower (access: there's a comment on TrigpointingUK about this trig from the owner of the holiday cottages).Aye Jimmy24/04/2016
Parked in Beacon Hill Holiday Cottages car park. Trig point clearly not the highest point - I opted for 14603,91398 about 12m NW, but there may be higher spots in woodland behind main building.Crib Goch03/03/2016
