From Hyde, we walked down the lane S of Walditch and joined the Monarch's Way to Watton Hill, where we went along the ridge to the top and easily found woodland paths that led us to Claremont Rd. With Pete, on a West Bay to Bridport via 3 tumps walk.pwheeler08/06/2023

Walked over from Allington Hill. Footpaths leading eventually along Claremont Rd. ROW then straight up steep faint path to overgrown top. Then on to Coneygar Hill.fosal2930/10/2019
By moonlight using path opposite St Katherine's Drive. Despite it being mid November the path was dry so no mudtrimarc219/11/2018
Surprising to access through steep narrow path between houses and then chest high bracken. Domed top cleared of bracken- Hp near elderberry trees, c 5m from fence. Lovely views. Traverse included steep descent SW in trees.Denise 14/06/2018
Path WNW through tall bracken from St. Katherine's Av. Hill top has been cleared of Bracken to leave rough grass and good views N. High point seemed to be gently domed grass 6m N of hedgeline with woodland to S.RichardM14/06/2018
Parked half on pavement in Coneygar Lane (not Coneygar Road) at SY 47102 93443 and did both Coneygar Hill & Watton Hill from same spot.David Gradwell16/05/2018
Carrying on from Coneygar Hill. I took St Katherine’s Avenue along the road until I came to a path which was approximately opposite St Katherine’s Drive. The path itself was extremely muddy and went around the hill in an anti-clockwise direction before coming back into the woods. There on top it was just establishing the summit. Descended the same way.steverd10/04/2018
From Coneygar Road walked up St Katherines Ave to where footpath crosses. Followed path up to summit area. the top seems to be where the trees meet the overgrown vegetationButeobuteo26/11/2016
Parked in Claremont Road, then followed FP and PROW up zig zags. Top in over grown area just North of woods.PeterD29/06/2016
Parked to W. Path to top then into woodland for overgrown summit.Adrian20/09/2015
From NNE, dead-end road. Visited the OS trig (buried block) site en route although made no attempt to find it.RHW29/03/2015
On Litton Cheney Trig Baggers weekend. Parking on Coneygar Lane, residential, for this and Coneygar Hill. Walked up Claremont Rd, to woodland access gate at end. Signs asking to keep to marked paths only, but plently of paths to summit area zig-zaging up. Easiest just to take a direct line to top - v. steep though.jonglew28/03/2015
