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 baglboutside06/03/2024

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.thejackrustles08/03/2020
Walked up from the centre of Bath. A surprisingly good hill when I had walked through a couple of miles of streets.clivevilla11/08/2019
