| Happened on this one purely by chance looking for somewhere to lunch. Boo and I just popped up to the top before consuming some gala pie | Alphaville199 | 22/09/2023 |

| Parked on car park by road to the NE SJ47714 07243. Very easy stroll to summit. With J. | David Evans | 30/10/2022 |

| Anti clockwise circular walk from Bayston Hill | muzza2 | 07/08/2021 |
| From CP at end of lane from Bayston Hill. Outstanding views of the Church Stretton hills especially. | squeegs | 18/07/2021 |
| I've driven past many times but never visited as it did not seem like any sort of impressive hill -oh but the view IS. | M3WDD | 14/10/2020 |
| Parked just off tarmac (SJ 477072) and walked along field top to viewpoint. Excellent view, with the Severn plain a contrast to being in the hills around Church Stretton most of the day. Good info boards, too. We walked to the windmill but thought the HP was in/close to the hill-top area car pk. With Pete. | pwheeler | 26/09/2020 |
| Great spot with panoramic views from The Wrekin round to Stiperstones. With whole family. Had a wander around and agree with Aye Jimmy, high point seems to be around the old windmill at about SJ 46963 06794. Got as close as possible. | RoguePulsar | 25/07/2020 |
| Very short walk i was with my family i liked it because it was very flat and easy | speedyclimber | 25/07/2020 |
| Easy walk to get to summit from the car park, but amazing views and plenty of information concerning the surroundings on the noticeboard! | evangelinebarratt | 25/07/2020 |
| With Minnie from lower parking, down private road then easy paths to South of hill to 111 spot, then up & back along top of hill/scarp. nice easy walking & paths, good views of Shropshire hills, overcast- occaisional showers | apricorum | 13/07/2020 |
| Parked at the end of the private lane to the south not knowing it was private. Headed west along duckboards when there was a far easier route straight up from the parking space. Met one of the residents of private lane near the top. Delightful man who advised of road status and showed me the quick route down. | Campbell Singer | 29/07/2019 |
| Cycled up, circular tour from Shrewsbury. Late evening sunshine. | brandybordeaux | 15/05/2019 |
| With Jo: from lower car park on a cloudy afternoon. Visited reservoir also. Extensive views to the south. | amblerbob | 30/11/2018 |
| An unexpected delight. Ridge top car park with extensive views E through S to W across the Severn valley. Natural high point probably the grass verge on N side of entrance to the car park. Ground on SE side of covered reservoir is a little higher but likely 'made-up'. Steep SE slope of Edge is outcropping conglomerate. | RichardM | 30/11/2017 |
| Busy spot today. Walked all round area, highest point seemed to be rocky ground in middle of summit carpark! Ground to WSW within gardens of Windmill House (with remains of windmill) and Kerdoon house may be higher but inaccessible. Outside the reservoir didn't feel as high. | Aye Jimmy | 18/10/2017 |
| Firstly this is a lovely area to walk with some variety. You know you are in a nice place when you see signs warning you about deer with calves. However why is there not more confusion about the high point? It appears that the gardens of the houses adjacent to the track our hire then the country park itself but the reservoir is surely the highest point. another candidate is opposite the road from the postbox. I had to sneak into the reservoir as there is a high barbed wire fence all around. | tumpawumpa | 21/05/2017 |
| A fantastic view point then had a look at the reservoir and the remains of the windmill. The bumpy old lane on the right is called the Rope Walk. Three hundred years ago flax and hemp rope made was made here and sold for ships, mines and farms all over the world. Theyd stretch and twist the rope in long lines down the lane. They even had a windmill to help. | Dugswell2 | 24/03/2017 |
| Parked in the car park and wandered around and along the hill and into the woods and back | greboicus | 21/12/2016 |
| Easy stroll from Bayston Hill on a perfect Autumn afternoon. Lovely view from summit. | sooztops | 04/12/2016 |
| With Cabe | simon and co | 27/11/2016 |
| You could just about do this as a drive by, but well worth the walk for some very good views. | heavyhorses | 25/06/2016 |

| I think i shall rename this one Lyth.. A stroll.. It was harder work driving along the access only track. Well, I needed to access the other end. | stig_nest | 14/04/2016 |

| Parked at lower car park and walked up to the other one as it didn't feel right driving to a summit. Visited reservoir. | clivevilla | 10/02/2015 |
| Car park for Lyth Hill Country Park near enough at summit. HP possibly along SE side of large grass-covered reservoir 40m N of car park. | jonglew | 24/01/2015 |
