From the private road. Tip about the track up the spine is key. HP by the side of this path. | clivevilla | 30/07/2023 |
Steep test after 20+ miles, sun was out though so best view of the day | Trantham Clan | 29/04/2023 |
A short, sharp climb from the Private Road to the west. The main ridge has a grass track that is worth following. | summitter | 09/01/2023 |
With Joe and Tom. Not clear where to go at first so hopped over fence and climbed up ridge. Lots of nettles and thistles. Came back down via gate. | fnem | 15/08/2022 |
Parked at start of private road to Rodmead Farm. Walked along road and over stile to Access Land and track to summit. Nice little hill. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 09/01/2022 |
Good parking, through the woods then up and down by the ridge. Top a mess of stinging nettles which penetrated my flimsy trousers | Colin Crawford | 16/10/2021 |
Good parking at start of Private Road. Through a few trees and over bwf. Straight up west side. Top covered in nettles but sheep seemed impervious to stings. Fine views. | Campbell Singer | 09/10/2021 |
Exactly as Chris Peart (16/01/2015). Had a snack below the top on chalk downland- the HP was a mess of nettles, rare on such substrate. Good views of the nice hills in this area, all around. | pwheeler | 22/09/2021 |

Parked at start of Private road. Short steep walk up to the top. Then over to Long Knoll. | fosal29 | 14/02/2020 |
12 mile circular from Mere taking in Long Hill, Zeals Knoll, Long Knoll, Little Knoll and White Sheet Hill. From Long Knoll and entrance to Rodmead farm we walked down track to another little parking area and through open gate and up stupidly steep but short ascent onto Little Knoll, saw a deer as we ascended, not bad views south but absolutely no views north. Descended then followed lane into Rodmead farm the across field footpath to Coombe Barn farm, ascending White Sheet Hill. | DanTrig | 08/10/2019 |
Frome - Roddenbury Hill - Horningsham Common - Little Knoll - Long Knoll - Jack's Castle - Redlynch Hill - Bruton | Mark Jackson | 15/06/2019 |
Walked steeply up from gate to South, leaving Xc skis at the base. Great snowy views to S, woodland behind. Highpoint not marked but reasonably obvious on grass near fence. | Denise | 03/02/2019 |
Straight up the steep snow and grass from access gate/stile at ST 806,377. Good views, area very popular with circling groups of Buzzards, Red Kites and Crows. | RichardM | 03/02/2019 |
Same route as HA. | PeterD | 06/08/2017 |
Up a steep bank and over the fence from the SW. Then a fairly short but steep ascent through patchily good chalk grassland. Another excellent hill with extensive views south. | Herbert Anchovy | 03/08/2017 |
A distinctive steep sided little hill being an extension of the Long Knoll chalk ridge. Little Knoll appears to have escaped being temporarily turned into a breast unlike its bigger sibling which in 2012 as part of Breast Cancer awareness had an illuminated plastic dome (nipple) added to its summit to make it look like a breast. The artist (A Mr Munro !) lives below Long Knoll and creates fields of light at dusk / night to connect with the human spirit. | Chris Pearson | 30/07/2016 |
From nw, flattish summit with a couple of hp candidates | RHW | 25/12/2015 |
Short hike up from the west | vegibagger | 30/07/2015 |
Parked at start of private road, walked along road to stile and steeply up from there. Came down W ridge which was a more friendly angle. | Chris Peart | 16/01/2015 |
Mere to Warminster. Access land stile is c.ST806377. | Smudge | 27/12/2014 |
Parking at junc private road (to Rodmead Farm) and B3092. Short walk up to summit. Boundary fence running E-W over summit with woodland to N so no views in that direction; views S, and partially E and W, make up for it - Alfred's Tower, Long Knoll, White Sheet Hill etc. | jonglew | 19/10/2014 |
Park at start of Private road, short walk to the top. | rhalstead | 05/10/2013 |
Small parking area at junction with track at ST 80388 38086. Walked south along track then had to scrabble up a steep bank and climb fence at ST 80411 37860 to gain west ridge. Highest point 2m S of fence at ST 80737 37822. | David Gradwell | 03/04/2012 |
