| From the NW with permission of farmer sitting in his pickup at field gate. Across field of pasture to next gate then steeply upwards trending left to field gate in top corner of field. This gives access to summit field grazed by sheep. Summit area is pasture, has trig pillar, rises and hollows and high point rise near bend in fence. Unmarked. Rain easing, view of Glastonbury Tor. | RichardM | 22/07/2023 |
| Approached up sheep pasture from road to north, having met the farmer at the bottom. Hp probably not at trig but nearer fence junction. Rainy views. | Denise | 22/07/2023 |
| Nightmare to access from the south but stumbled through the brambles and undergrowth. Nasty double barbed wire fence surrounds field with trig point | Trantham Clan | 08/04/2023 |
| Parked near Fenny Castle for a circuit of Hembury Hill, Ben Knowle Hill (along ROW to SW for a short way before climbing grassy slope to ridge; visited summit and trig; down E side) and Hay Hill. | PGCE | 26/05/2021 |
| From south, along FP, then up by caravan and vineyard, steep ascent and into summit field and onto HP and Trig. | PeterD | 07/05/2021 |
| Here for the trig point. TP:UK log: #19 'trig' of the trip. #12 Pillar. Parked at school car park opposite new house aptly named Ben Knowle. We knocked to try and get permission but no one answered. Route to trig in full view of new house. We then walked up the road to the nearby houses and spoke to a couple of gentlemen working in the schools garden who advised the field was being used by a tenant farmer and that’d be ok to climb up the field and visit it. So we did, another steep one but we got there. | thejackrustles | 07/03/2020 |

| Parked SW at the start of ROW, Tried to go up through wood but couldn't find a way so walked around to the East of wood then back up to Trig & HP. Then walked over to Hay Hill. | fosal29 | 07/10/2019 |
| Parked near the school. The tricky bit was accessing the field leading up to the hill without being seen by a chap who had been strimming the hillside, stopped for a break and was heading down to his car parked in the gateway. Having got past him it was simple enough, mainly thanks to the hard work he had put in clearing the brambles that would otherwise have been a nightmare. Once past the brambles the top is a nice bit of rough grassland with a trig near the summit. Nice views of the area from the top. | Herbert Anchovy | 30/01/2019 |
| Parked to the SW then used RoW to gain field below wood. Up steeply through wood then over BWF into summit field with Iain Brown. Then continued onto Hay Hill via field edges of maize fields to the prickly summit. | Dugswell2 | 10/09/2018 |

| Parked at school and climbed through a mixture of muddy pasture and shrubby hillside. Hard work. | Ramblingpaul | 22/11/2017 |
| Roadside parking at the school (ST 51317 45204). Steepish hillside over rough cattle pasture to trig pillar at summit. HP either at the pillar or possibly 25m SW on small but pronounced grassy mound. | jonglew | 02/09/2015 |
