| Steep climb through bracken & low brambles from the PRoW to the N. Descended by following the edge of the forest SW, then over a stile to descend to the road at Leigh Court. Good views S. Part of a 18 mile loop over the hills of the Vale of Wardour & beyond. | DanMaisieBex | 13/09/2020 |
| Approached through steep scrubby woods from RoW to South. HP appeared to be at fenceline, though all quite level. White tailed deer in trees. | Denise | 12/01/2020 |
| From the forest track we pick our way S through open trees and bramble to the BWF bounding the woods. High point on fence line, pleasant view of valley to S. | RichardM | 12/01/2020 |
| Bit of a nightmare with the summit field full of a grass route crop covered in mist dew. Along the south side in the stubble field next door then up east side, through long grass, nettle, bracken mix. Ugh. | vegibagger | 23/08/2019 |
| From Donhead St Andrew up road then path to north of summit, then directly up through undergrowth in the rain. Then along field edge to HP. | PeterD | 09/06/2019 |
| Along the track until north of the summit, then zig-zagging up to avoid brambles and undergrowth where possible. The easiest way is through some beach trees which seem to have suppressed all other growth beneath them. Finally, over a fence into the summit field. | Herbert Anchovy | 08/10/2018 |
| Loop from Tisbury station (day trip from London): High Wood, Donhead Hill, West End Hill, Win Green, White Sheet Hill, Ansty Hill, Castle Ditches. Rough climb through woods from right of way to N - only parts of a path found. | Mark Jackson | 21/10/2017 |
| 2nd of a 3 TuMP walk with L and the dogs from Donhead St Andrew. The dogs loved scouting ahead on the steep wooded scramble to the summit field. | Chris Pearson | 12/04/2017 |
| From FP to west. There are gates into wood and vehicle track running south-north just inside wood perimeter. About 100 yards left of 3rd gate, a small rough track bears up the steep slope and runs out near the top. Interesting mini route!! | trimarc2 | 24/11/2016 |
| On a round from Win Green using the Wessex Ridgeway into Wardour Woods Forestery Commission there is a track that heads back on the main path then straight up very steep to corner | philhythe | 19/11/2016 |
| Climbed from the W. There was wheat growing in the summit field. | Chris Peart | 30/07/2015 |
| On a round of Wilts tumps: Ansty Hill, High Wood, Donhead Hill and West End Hill. Parking roadside in Swallowcliffe (very limited). From Old Wardour Castle, where RoW starts to contour round hill side then straight up through woodland to summit at forest/field boundary fence. | jonglew | 27/11/2014 |
| Shaftsbury to Tisbury. Unmapped track doubles back W to opposite the house for a NW assault on the steep bank - a lot of nettle bashing required on upper section to reach fence at this time of year. | Smudge | 11/07/2014 |
| Forest fence. From W: NE along RoW then S straight up | RHW | 07/04/2012 |
