From Slade Barn Farm whilst devouring a slab of Christmas cake. | Wycombe Wanderer | 26/12/2023 |
As others, making use of the useful parking spot to the NE, then ROW and field boundaries. Walked along tramlines through recently planted crop to hp. | milimana | 29/11/2023 |
Parked in layby to NE at start of ROW. ROW, then field boundary. | PGCE | 23/10/2021 |
From the layby at the start of the Temple Guiting road just W of Ford. Followed the route using the resr track, narrow gallops, gap at corner to summit field. Dry earth with stubble so I could be a purist and go to the top centimetre. Short cut across field back, gates/ gaps on this route completely off RoWs, no crops (late Sep) so perfect for a low impact visit bag to a dull summit- Jonglew's pic says it all. Super Cotswold beer at the Plough in Ford after. | pwheeler | 24/09/2021 |
Bike ride: Moreton-in-Marsh - Seven Wells Hill - Shenberrow Hill - Upper Coscombe Hill - Temple Guiting Hill - Swell Hill - Stow-on-the-Wold Hill - South Hill - Over Norton Hill - Kingham station. | Mark Jackson | 18/09/2021 |
After sheltering in the phone box at Ford in 10 minutes of torrential rain, I resumed my Gloucestershire Way walk from Stow to Winchcombe with a quick detour to the top of this hill. A bit of clumpy mud on the lower slopes, then vegetation hopping round the eastern margin of the first field before crossing to the summit. No crops and a rather unremarkable summit (the better views are from the edges of the field). After this it was a straightforward walk to Winchcombe in increasingly better weather. | thesweetcheat | 01/05/2021 |
Parked at crossroads to NNE, took track just L of Gloucestershire Way, then round LH side of reservoir and up fields leftwards to top, somewhere in large flat field. | Aye Jimmy | 09/03/2019 |
Up Gloucestershire Way and then round edge of a couple of crop fields including a couple of bwf. Easier return through field to reservoir and down lane. | Campbell Singer | 10/07/2018 |
Convenient pull in near road junction in Ford, then path with view of now NOT disused quarry and then field boundaries. | KC | 08/06/2018 |
Leave cycle at Slade Barn farm (more a stables), path NE to edge of large quarry then grassy field margins with horse jumps to summit field and indistinct high point in young crop. Skylarks singing. Good views under now hazy skies. | RichardM | 05/04/2018 |
Up Winchcombe Way from NE then followed field edges. | clivevilla | 06/11/2017 |
2/4 (Upper Coscombe Hill/Temple Guiting Hill/Over Norton Hill/Blackheath) | Fergalh | 12/07/2017 |
Christmas morning and another 4 hour walk from Guiting Power along lovely quiet fpaths and lanes with L and the dogs Titus and Bucket charging around in every thicket and wood chasing smells (before sleeping in front of the Aga all afternoon). The hill/village name links to the Knights Templars who provided ( 1095-1312) a protective force for pilgrims to the christian Holy Lands.They received funding from land /farms, such as here, donated to their cause. | Chris Pearson | 25/12/2016 |
Best approached from the east, from the lane. Now we know... | sooztops | 20/10/2016 |
From NE, level field | RHW | 20/02/2016 |
Followed footpath from Ford and then across two fields. | Ramblingpaul | 20/01/2016 |
From road near Ford, up ROW and then into field and around edge to HP in 2nd field | PeterD | 20/11/2015 |
From Ford. Across pasture, skirted some oil seed rape and then followed tramlines through cereal crop. | Herbert Anchovy | 01/06/2015 |
Parked at road junction, then straight forward walk up ROW and into field. May be more difficult when crops start growing. | rhalstead | 21/02/2015 |
Trudge over small plantings. Skylark. | arranc | 17/02/2015 |
From junc B4077 / Minor Rd. Up metalled reservoir access track initially (less mud) before reverting to RoW. From first field boundary, directly to summit over arable fields with sparse beet crop planted. Broad flat hill top, not easy to determine a precise HP. | jonglew | 12/02/2015 |
Up from Ford, summit in ploughed field. | Adrian | 11/10/2014 |
7pm what turned out to be fairly horrible little ascent as grass and grain heads very quickly got down into my boots and socks in a way that necesitated the hindsight need for gaiters in a much more urgent way than any scottish heather. It was grim and surprisingly the unexpected worst ascent of any little short dry hill I can ever remember. | vegibagger | 25/07/2014 |
