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... | Dazingdale | 28/10/2023 |
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 R | 31/05/2023 |
From the east. Parking at junction. A lovely woodland walk. A deer place. | Play2End | 16/04/2023 |
19:02 ROW from south gently along and slightly upwards into open woodland with quite a lot of holly. | vegibagger | 09/04/2023 |
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. | PGCE | 25/08/2021 |
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. | milimana | 26/03/2020 |
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. | fasgadh | 21/02/2020 |
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. | RichardM | 19/12/2019 |
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 Anchovy | 27/09/2017 |
Parked near snails bank, FP to top, short venture into bracken for the HP. Horse jumps but no horses. | PeterD | 25/09/2016 |
As RHW. Very muddy. As it is called Pimple Hill I was looking for a spot height!! | clivevilla | 27/01/2016 |
As for RHW - horse jumps and horses. | arranc | 21/12/2015 |
delightful view W (Clees) from summit & SE towards Malverns on descent. fp from 721488 (parking E of jct) | RHW | 30/12/2001 |
