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. | gerrybowes | 27/01/2024 |
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. | jonglew | 14/12/2023 |
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... | Dazingdale | 25/02/2023 |
Drove up a road straight to the top. Went with Dad. | speedyclimber | 03/12/2022 |
In the rain, quick hop over low fence. | PeterD | 24/11/2022 |
Almost a drive over but we did get out of the car to take a look. With Pete. | pwheeler | 15/10/2022 |
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 Pearson | 30/03/2022 |
Also went E 150 metres into field and high point. | Adrian | 12/08/2021 |
Only a brief excursion from the lane to the lawn high point. | RichardM | 11/10/2020 |

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. | davidpettit84 | 23/10/2016 |
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. | clivevilla | 22/07/2016 |
Lane from S to top of hill. High point on lawn of Fernwood House. | Aye Jimmy | 06/03/2016 |
