Up the grassy track from Roundhill Centre, quite good conditions underfoot at first considering the rain we've had recently. Got my tacky and then slippery just before the summit. Gave the trig point which is covered in very shoddily done graffiti a tap and then dug my heels in on the way back down to stop me sliding down the other side. Really accessible bag | lboutside | 06/03/2024 |

Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
#41 'trig' of the trip. #26 Pillar. Parked in housing estate near church shown on map. Short walk up steepish hill to pillar. Shame about the graffiti but it is quite urban so to be expected. | thejackrustles | 08/03/2020 |
Walked up from the centre of Bath. A surprisingly good hill when I had walked through a couple of miles of streets. | clivevilla | 11/08/2019 |

Parked on pavement of main road then a short walk uphill to bag the trig and nearby summit. | Dugswell2 | 26/03/2015 |
A shortish diversion on the way home from the tip. Did as jonglew. White painted trig just below grassy summit. Nice views of and around Bath. | Herbert Anchovy | 17/01/2015 |
Parking to west in garden centre car park. Convenient gap in hedge then up the hill to trig at summit. Popular area with kids and dog walkers, watch where you walk! | jonglew | 22/09/2013 |
