2nd of 10 hills on a 31.76km route from Cradley to Ledbury, after Beacon Hill I headed North then followed the A4103 then a fp to reach the B4220 then North on a footpath to skirt Broom coppice before heading to the top just inside Riley Hill Wood. I wonder whether it should be called Riley Hill wood instead although Pimple is still very good. I headed East on quite rough ground over brambles and in and out of trees before reaching a small track that links up with a footpath heading Se, Ese heading towards Bearswood common...Dazingdale28/10/2023
Recommend, for much fewer nettles,turn right at SO 71974 48770 (this is just AFTER the small gate). Meets the RoW at SO 71683 48991. Then stay on RoW to summit.Martin R31/05/2023
From the east. Parking at junction. A lovely woodland walk. A deer place.Play2End16/04/2023
19:02 ROW from south gently along and slightly upwards into open woodland with quite a lot of holly.vegibagger09/04/2023
From junction to E: just about space to park up tight against the hedge. ROW, then kept on track to motorsport course. Up to small gate top right, then path to RichardM's highpoint.PGCE25/08/2021
Pleasant circuit from Longley Green (SO 728504) in the spring sunshine, eventually approaching from the E as others. BW drying out nicely now after a week without rain. Somewhere either on of just off the cross path mentioned by Richard seems as good a location for the hp as any.milimana26/03/2020
Up from the east. Muddy in places but still a pleasant walk. Plenty of GS woodpeckers in here. Top poorly defined, a bit of a wander in the brambles required. Met unaccompanied Lab on the way up.fasgadh21/02/2020
What a delightful name! Totally indistinct, within bramble on the floor of birch woods in gloomy rain and mud.Denise 19/12/2019
Footpath from the S to W edge of Riley Hill Wood. Turn right at large spreading oak and path crosses high point - or thereabouts. Levelish summit area of bramble and birch trees.RichardM19/12/2019
From RHW's parking space. Sloshed my way up the bridleway and then left on paths. Short bramble thrash at the end but no definite high point.Herbert Anchovy27/09/2017
Parked near snails bank, FP to top, short venture into bracken for the HP. Horse jumps but no horses.PeterD25/09/2016
As RHW. Very muddy. As it is called Pimple Hill I was looking for a spot height!!clivevilla27/01/2016
As for RHW - horse jumps and horses.arranc21/12/2015
