Intended to do a loop of Beacon Hill, Pythhouse Hill and Knoyle hill but beacon hill is very much on private property, however I see the abbey open it's grounds around May. most years so I will attempt that hill then. I did some geocaching around Knoyle hill and bagged the summit, then parked in lay-by so could go stand at the trig at Pythouse hill | stagger onward | 10/09/2022 |
The high point is in vicinity of reservoir. Trig pillar on opposite side of road. A large free range chicken shed with outdoor run with electric fence is currently for barn hens as avian flu restricts bird movements | cjo | 20/04/2022 |
Mere to Tisbury. Revisit - tall nettles deterred detailed examination of the (natural) summit zone. | Smudge | 29/10/2021 |
Short walk in from the quiet road. | Campbell Singer | 13/10/2021 |

Short detour up the road after a visit to Pythouse Walled Garden which is lovely | Swindon Bagger | 01/04/2021 |
Opposite side of road to trig in scrubby woodland, all very level. The small covered reservoir is the HP but unnatural. In fading light but a good walk around. | Denise | 11/01/2020 |
Large levelish summit in messy woodland. Indistinct high point. Last of the day in fading light. Now for the walk back to East Knoyle. | RichardM | 11/01/2020 |
Quick visit to trig, then to reservoir and then to nearby high point just in from road. | PeterD | 09/06/2019 |
Probably near the reservoir | vegibagger | 22/04/2019 |
As Chris Peart. | Herbert Anchovy | 03/08/2018 |
Nipped in and out from road between tractor movements. Followed enthusiastically as ever by the dogs who wonderfully have no concept of keeping a low profile. 2nd of 5 TuMP day walk with L (and the dogs)from Semley. | Chris Pearson | 13/04/2017 |
I parked at the reservoir and the summit was just through the hedge. | Chris Peart | 10/06/2015 |
