| Used footpath from SW. Parked opposite houses in space which is used by houses. Lady resident was very friendly and merely enquired of Barbara if we were staying long as she needed the space that evening. Easy stroll up into mixed woodland. One old elm tree particularly impressive. | Campbell Singer | 23/09/2016 |
| From sw as others. Tall oak on obvious summit E side of good path. 3 dark snorty beasts rooting on path at dusk, my first encounter with boar I think! After work Fri eve, not much daylight in Sept. | RHW | 02/09/2016 |
| From Green Bottom. Paths to the top through the bluebells. Nice summit tree - you could climb inside the regrowth. On to Chestnut Hill. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/04/2016 |
| Glorious little hill that I'll rename Bluebell hill or maybe Yew tree hill since there is one pretty close to the summit.pull in for two cars by northern path that ascends west. Resist temptation to break directly up a break in the trees. Upper hill is lovely but bangle on the ride best avoided. Instead continue up gently riding path to nw corner and then head up beautiful open wood up the north west ridge. A delight. | vegibagger | 30/03/2016 |
