| Parked to N at entrance to Cranmore Wood. Went to tower (closed until further notice) then to summit. Nice beech woodlands. | PGCE | 26/05/2021 |
| Walked up from Dean, the eastern part of the woodland has been clear felled. Unable with any certainty derermine the high point, so wandered around a little. Return via cranmere tower | cjo | 24/12/2020 |
| Parked off Old Wells Rd (thank goodnes, with all the quarry traffic) in Cranmore Wood and used bw then fp to bw to E which more or less goes over HP. Could follow field margin (trespass, views) to return via Cranmore Tower. Quite a pleasant half hour. | pwheeler | 16/10/2020 |
| Parked at Dean then followed green lane north uphill to pleasant open beechwood. Very flat and HP not obvious. | Denise | 22/06/2020 |
| As others from Dean. Well managed beech wood covers levelish summit area. Spent quite a while with the abney without coming to any great conclusion. | RichardM | 22/06/2020 |
| Parked in a large layby by the crossroads to the West. Track to pasture then up to woodland edge. Difficult to tell exact HP | fosal29 | 07/09/2019 |
| Approached along Funtle lane track. Up pasture. HP just in plantation at fence corner. | PeterD | 02/09/2017 |
| 2/5 (Long Hill/Cranmore Hill/Dungehill/Small Down Knell/Lamyatt Beacon) | Fergalh | 16/08/2017 |
| Woodland summit. Also went up Cranmore Tower, worth the £2 | Adrian | 26/02/2017 |
| Walked from the car park, woodland summit | Starspotter | 30/10/2016 |
| From w, London Marathon day so jogged the track. Hp seems to be at hedge bank corner but unclear. Got a view of Tower but didn't bother visiting | RHW | 24/04/2016 |
| Parked at about ST666450. A lady followed me up the track in a 4x4 and told me it was a private road. She was decent enough to allow me to park when I told her I just out for a short walk. From the field I thought the woodland looked higher but when in the wood the field looked higher! | Herbert Anchovy | 28/04/2015 |
| Approach as vegibagger and I vote for the field corner to be the top. There were quite a few roe deer about. | Chris Peart | 17/04/2015 |
| Parking in Downhead to W. Visited Cranmore Tower first for 194 step climb to top. Then into Cranmore Plantation to search for summit point. Woods are privately owned by East Cranmore Estate; signs warn of no public access. Summit point difficult to determine by eye but seemed to be in SE quadrant of the plantation. | jonglew | 19/08/2014 |
| from the road to the west Funtle track is continues footpath past Fruntle house or Font Hill Cottage (not sure which is right) and through another gate where grassy field leads up to the edge of the woodland with top either field edge of wood edge. A gentle explore in both satisfied my top hunting. | vegibagger | 03/08/2014 |
