3rd hill of 4 on a 14km circuit from Great Witley. After Walsgrove Hill I continued on Geopark/Worcestershire Way. As stated summit is on East side of track abutting hedge however there are benches every 200m at the summit area. Outstanding views to the West. I backtracked then took fp to the East then North parallel with the ridge to meet road again before taking fp heading for Woodbury Hill... | Dazingdale | 25/11/2023 |
Parked in the bellmouth of the private road to Rodge Hill Farm to the East. It's about 50 yards north of the bridleway and not shown on the map (!). Then straightforward walk, not through a farmyard. | Wycombe Wanderer | 01/10/2023 |

As part of the Abberley to Martley section of the Geopark Way. Lovely ridgetop walking on the Silurian limestone with fine views over the Teme valley to the Bromyard Plateau of Devonian sandstone. Returned home to find out an earthquake, centred in South Wales, had occurred around this time but didn't feel a thing. | milimana | 17/02/2018 |
Parked at the terminus of lane. Road peters out towards the end but keep going until gate. Then straight up to right hand corner of field and then north with a rising traverse. Avoided all woods. Very helpful farmer with quad. | Campbell Singer | 18/07/2017 |
From Rimmer's farm, where we were staying with both sons & their families for the weekend. Extensive view west from summit. | ngthack | 15/07/2017 |
After 'feeding and checking the stock' on our 3 day farm-sit we headed for the nearest hills through apple orchards and oil seed rape fields on a 5 hr 18km walk over 3 tumps with L, and the two collie dogs Spot and Jess (off duty from obsessively rounding up sheep and chickens). | Chris Pearson | 30/04/2017 |
