The alternative summit in Beacon Hill Wood is a lot more interesting. | Martin R | 13/02/2024 |
Gap in hedge on road to south gives easy access to the top on the golf course. | Campbell Singer | 10/10/2021 |
Great views over the hedges. If I were only a few inches taller. | Barbara Singer | 10/10/2021 |
Visited Beacon Hill first: small car park at W end of wood; tumulus topped by a standing stone. Then parked by radio mast: visited trig and summit, via handy gaps in the hedge. | PGCE | 26/05/2021 |
Essentially a drive over Tump on the way from Clevedon to Westbury (could have done with a SatNav). I did get out, though, and investigate verges, etc. | pwheeler | 16/10/2020 |
As others, west along Golf course side of hedge. | fosal29 | 07/09/2019 |
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
Good time to go for this, parked at locked gate at ST 61832 46791, then round the side of gate and along hedge to trigpoint whilst the sun started to set. Surprised this is also a hill http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/mountaindetails.php?qu=S&rf=17961 Long Hill | thejackrustles | 19/07/2018 |

Solo. Nice and sunny! | CJM | 04/07/2017 |
From road to South, gate, along hedge to trig. Banking by hedge slightly higher. | PeterD | 07/05/2017 |
As Chris Peart. Suspicious looks from a few golfers. I thought the ground was possibly higher towards the trees but not much in it. | Herbert Anchovy | 04/03/2015 |
Parked at the road junction and took the stile onto the golf course. The summit would seem to be near the trig, although the 297m spot height is around the third tee. | Chris Peart | 02/02/2015 |
Roadside parking by Warren Farm ent. 150m W to gate to access golf course; double back 100m on N side hedgerow to trig. Hill summit not easy to determine by eye, but somewhere around the trig. | jonglew | 19/08/2014 |
