Have been here before but could not remember when. Probably in the early 1980s. | Dusty | 24/09/2022 |
On a walk from Goodrich to English Bicknor, after Coppet Hill. Followed the bank of the Wye from Huntsham Bridge, into chest high nettles (shorts maybe not such a great idea) before climbing steeply up through Elliot's Wood. Nice views from the field at the top, if partly blocked by trees. On to Yat Rock to revisit the Iron Age hillfort and have a cup of tea at the cafe, then onto English Bicknor to catch the bus to Ruardean. | thesweetcheat | 11/06/2021 |
Parked in small car park, by county sign. Forest track, bear right to summit field. Keep left of deer fence. Straightforward. | PGCE | 03/04/2021 |
Parked at the minor car park just down from the Symonds Yat viewpoint (adjacent to the County Boundary sign). Followed the woodland trail straight up to the pasture and the highest point. Nice views over the surrounding area! | Gerry the Ranger | 17/01/2021 |

From SSW, taking ROW into pasture, where a sign says there is now a permissive path up and over the summit (keep left of the deer fence) to meet up with paths on the other side. So all very straightforward. | milimana | 11/02/2019 |

Parked on forest track to W and went straight up through woods to summit in field. | Tony J | 28/01/2018 |
From SW. Clear signs saying keep out but nobody about. | clivevilla | 17/01/2018 |
Parking not a problem in the lane, done after the Symonds Yat viewpoint, a fine area this | nordicstar | 04/10/2017 |
As PeterD. Limited parking but fortunate to get one of three spaces on the narrow Symonds Yat road. Summit pasture is on private land. New fence is not a problem as the summit is outside the surrounded area. | Campbell Singer | 14/08/2017 |
A new 6' deer fence has now been erected but the summit is outside of it so no need to climb it. | andrew brown | 29/07/2017 |
Followed forest track and into field. Summit is pasture. | Ramblingpaul | 28/09/2016 |

From parking space half way down hill. Along FP and then up pasture. Good view from top. | PeterD | 06/09/2015 |
£3.50 to park at Symonds Yat, along road and up on bridle track thru wood to open grassy dome and to top. No cairn. | arranc | 26/08/2015 |
Spent afternoon canoeing 9 miles down the Wye ending at Symonds Yat East. While my work collegaues headed off for showers I set off to bag this hill. A short walk north along the river from the canoe place carpark, then headed right up paths and short sections of roads. Picked up a permissive path across pasture to the top. Summit is fairly obvious although slightly flat restricting views. Signs of wild boar foraging in the pasture. Headed off through the woods, flushing a fox, and on to the Symonds Yat view point where I happily watched rats feasting on the bird food that someone had put out. Back to the Saracens Head for a good evening. | Herbert Anchovy | 09/06/2015 |
