Easy verge parking a few metres N. of high point on Heath Road. As others have mentioned, summit grid reference lies in grounds of Fernwood House, but roadside banking looked to be as high.gerrybowes27/01/2024
Probably in the grounds of Fernwood House, or maybe on the roadside verge, who knows. First of 5 Staffs/Salops tumps done en-route Scotland to Bedford.jonglew14/12/2023
4th of 5 from Maer village. After Camp Hill via footpaths to Snapehall road then both lawn high point and highest point of pasture. Easier than i anticipated. Continuation to Coombesdale Hill...Dazingdale25/02/2023

Almost a drive over but we did get out of the car to take a look. With Pete.pwheeler15/10/2022
If you feel a rumble here in the future it could be the HS2 train which is due to pass through a tunnel below this hill -as it crosses the main British watershed here - a fact lost on everybody no doubt. The roadside bank felt as high as the garden.Chris Pearson30/03/2022
Also went E 150 metres into field and high point.Adrian12/08/2021

Eight-tump circuit west from Trentham Gardens: Oulton Heath - Coombesdale Hill - The Ridding - Berth Hill - Camp Hill - Whitmore Heath - Hanchurch Hills - Kingswood Bank. Just off the lane, as described by others.davidpettit8423/10/2016
In the front garden of Fernwood House. A quick vault over a low fence and, luckily, the high point is not directly visible(unless somebody was outside) so no embarrassing explanations required.clivevilla22/07/2016
