Nice short walk up track. High point then trig bagged. | Alan Caine | 10/02/2024 |
14/20. As others, parked at the used car dealership and followed the reservoir track. Agreed about the views. 10 mins. | Mark Jackson | 05/09/2023 |
Walking Shakespeare Avon Way and diverted to bag the hill via mast track. Sunny day, good views. | PhilipChaston | 20/08/2023 |
Straightforward forward from the 1960s pull-in outside Stratford Car Centre (closed - Easter Monday). Surprisingly good summit. | Wycombe Wanderer | 10/04/2023 |
Solo early morning circuit from Welford-on-Avon. Summit an easy climb from the east up drivable track. | millionmts | 10/04/2023 |
As jonglew: Parked on slip road into the used car lot (SP 1794 5406), N side Evesham Rd. RoW initially then veered off left onto mast access track. Visited pillar first, clearly lower, then SE to the HP. | PGCE | 22/08/2021 |
Past the nursery, through the woods and past the aerial. | Play2End | 20/08/2021 |
Parked in Shottery and took the track next to the primary school and ROW past the seemingly-defunct Brookfield Nursery, accessing the summit field from the mast access track. Decent views for such a small hill. | milimana | 19/11/2020 |

Parked on residential streets near Ann Hathaway's cottage. Pleasant ascent through dripping undergrowth and woodland in light rain to open summit area. Sheep pasture. Aerial enclosure not at HP, nor at trig. HP just off path nearby. Murky rural views. | Denise | 18/06/2020 |
From Shottery on footpaths then service track on a wet afternoon. Sheep pasture with sheep. Reasonable if murky views. | RichardM | 18/06/2020 |
4th and final Tump on a route from Mickleton to Stratford, climbing Ebrington Hill, Meon Hill and Welford Hill, continuing via Rumer Hill coppice onto lane, into Weston on Avon and onto the Avon Way linking to a cycle lane veering off just past the River Avon and near the racecouse to follow a fp linking with Stratford road. A short way up the road, i took the fp and then the bridleway, veering off to climb over the gate and then visit the Trig pillar with the top not too far. Descent to field edge then over bw fence to re-join fp and then straightforward route following the Heart of England Way into Stratford... | Dazingdale | 22/06/2019 |
Managed to squeeze the car in a space at the front of the car dealership - it was closed anyway late on Sunday afternoon. Followed RoW NW for a short way and then climbed over gate leading to reservoir and mast. Trig and HP just past the mast. Good views. | Wheelsy | 02/06/2019 |
Back again after a mere gap of 39 years to see where I came as a school boy on a solo walk out from Stratford whilst on an English school trip having noticed the trig on a map. My other 17yr old school chums were meanwhile doing normal stuff -trying to buy alcohol for that night's party in the dorm! Today up the field from Bordon nurseries who use the latest sophisticated technology to grow 230 million plants a year under a sea of greenhouses to supply garden centres. Down to the east lies Anne Hathaway’s cottage who use no sophisticated technology but keep things just as they were 500 years ago. Did the Bard and Anne wander up this local hill behind her cottage when courting I wonder - even without a trig to attract them or to write a play about? 'A midsummers night trig' has a nice ring to it. | Chris Pearson | 28/03/2019 |
Asked to park at car place and quick up and down. Many surprised rabbits. | KC | 21/03/2019 |
Wilmcote to Stratford-upon-Avon. Via fence hop from ROW to N (and a low electric one between trig & HP). | Smudge | 14/01/2018 |
Simple 10 min. walk up access road to mast, starting on ROW. Given it's such a small hill, the view is surprisingly good, especially over the Vale of Evesham. The trickiest problem is where to park as the staring point is on the brow of the hill on a busy road. | pwheeler | 22/10/2017 |
As PeterD, easy approach up lane from Stratford Car Centre. | Aye Jimmy | 12/09/2017 |
Parked outside car dealers, up track to com so tower then HP and on to visit trig. | PeterD | 15/07/2017 |
Same route as Campbell Singer. Parked at top of nursery drive. | Herbert Anchovy | 29/03/2017 |
From housing estate, easy access on waterboard track. | rhalstead | 19/02/2017 |
Parked in Borden Hill Nurseries and crossed busy main road, over a gate and up field for sale for development. Over a bwf to trig and summit. 10 minutes up and down. | Campbell Singer | 16/02/2017 |
Wish all hill top reservoirs were like this one, just of the summit and leaving summit and trig clear of their wretched fencing. Waxed lyrical in one way conversation with fearty but curious cows. Shakespeare might've liked that! | vegibagger | 21/09/2016 |
Followed track off B439 to trig | Ramblingpaul | 25/08/2016 |
I was walking round the nearby geocaching circuit, so detoured off to the summit and the trig point. | Alancache | 16/06/2016 |
Parked on verge, over gate and up to trig. The barbed wire was already bent down to facilitate ducking under. Summit is near the trig. | clivevilla | 07/03/2016 |
From NE, taking private road then muddy paths to reach access track to mast. | RobertP | 24/01/2016 |
Surprisingly good view for a tiny hill- from new houses on ROW from ENE then up short track to mast and trig. | Mark Sims | 02/06/2015 |
close to water utility and trig | Adrian | 16/06/2013 |
from premier in stratford | underhill | 13/11/2011 |
Over gate - walk up track | arranc | 20/02/2007 |
Plug now unfortunately missing on trig point. The way in is to the right of the small second hand car dealers. Parking is a little tricky, I ended up going down the hill towards Stratford and parking on the forecourt of the Indian restaurant. | Father Ted | 12/12/2004 |

Spare time to explore Stratford as a 17 year old on a 6th form Shakespeare trip..... and what did I do? ...walked out along the road to find the trig pillar I had spotted on a map. The beginnings of the bagging magnet? Meanwhile my school friends were busy doing normal activities for 17 year olds like trying to buy booze for a a party. As Robert Frost wrote 'Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference' | Chris Pearson | 02/04/1980 |
