Like others, a loop from the centre | Moorponder | 02/09/2023 |
Walked from the town centre up to the observatory, then on to Durdham Down. | justin_j_evans | 02/07/2023 |
After Henbury and King's Weston Hill forts, I followed the Community Forest Path to here. There's a very faint possible Bronze Age round barrow in the Seven Sisters tree clump. Today the only obstacle was the football pitches, in use and buzzing. I sat for a bit on the bench under the trees. I then had a wander round by the water tower, there's a very poignant sculpture by the toilets. From here I headed off to the tussocky summit, then on to Clifton to visit the hillfort at the Observatory. | thesweetcheat | 28/01/2023 |
Managed to find a parking space to the North in Stoke Road on a busy Saturday morning ST570750. | David Evans | 07/01/2023 |
Along with Observatory Hill | sturuss | 23/10/2022 |
Hill 2 of 4 of Bristol long distance run. Difficult to judge exact high point as surrounding land is flat grassland | matt98p | 19/09/2022 |
Passing by on the way to the zoo | ekm | 26/03/2022 |

2nd of the 3 Bristol tumps after Kings Weston, following community trail veering off to reach mounds then continuing to the Observatory. A very wet day! Lots of joggers around... | Dazingdale | 16/02/2020 |
Redland to Leigh Woods. | Smudge | 12/01/2020 |
With Wendy and Edward - was in the summer of 2019 but can't remember the date. | ijpowell | 30/12/2019 |
Probably walked, run, played football 100s of times. Hardly anywhere on the Downs I have not visited. | Dusty | 16/11/2019 |
On walk through Bristol to Henleaze | JazDisney | 27/10/2019 |

Strolled across very busy common from parking by the water tower. | Aye Jimmy | 30/06/2019 |
Christmas morning visit. | cjo | 25/12/2018 |
Walked from Observatory Hill. All very easy. And all before the Southern area meeting of the John Muir Society | trimarc2 | 17/11/2018 |
Pleasant autumnal stroll across popular Downs to unobvious HP in grass. Free roadside parking. | Denise | 16/11/2018 |
Large grassy common with scattered clumps of scrub/trees, tree lined roads and lots of joggers and dog walkers. All fairly level, high point a grassy mound amongst a group of mounds and hollows on E side. | RichardM | 16/11/2018 |
Parked by the parade of shops and had a walk across the common. | clivevilla | 10/10/2018 |
I could have parked 50m away and saved a 250m walk. | Chris Peart | 07/10/2018 |
Bristol recompleted yet again. The circus came to town for me. | ngthack | 01/10/2018 |
Coming relatively soon after Observatory Hill, Brenda's retort of 'You're joking. What, another one?' feels somehow appropriate. Must have walked, cycled, driven along Stoke Road hundreds of times in the 70s and 80s - but have I stood on the highest point. Well, I have now - or at least till it gets moved somewhere else! | milimana | 28/09/2018 |
Revisit for better photos and look at some benchmarks. | Dugswell2 | 21/08/2018 |
Bristol completed for third time. | Ramblingpaul | 09/08/2018 |
Well...lots of gentle joggers and dog walkers.. any excuse to go back to Herbert's bakery in St Paul's and buy some of their wonderful dark rye bread and other Eastern European delights... I wonder if Herbert Anchovy had been there since he's a relative local east of Bath on the side of Bathford Hill HuMP. | vegibagger | 02/08/2018 |
Bristol recompletion. | Bramley | 23/07/2018 |
Walked across to the high ground from the sliproad by the water tower. Difficult to work out what is natural and what isn’t here. Anyway, Bristol summits now complete. | Mariana Trench | 22/07/2018 |
What to do on a damp Saturday. | Dugswell2 | 16/06/2018 |
Nice day for a stroll in the Park. Parked on A417 | GordonAdshead | 05/05/2018 |
Jon's hummock highest by hand level, apart from covered resr by water tower which is 1m higher but artificial | RHW | 11/03/2018 |
Parked roadside A4176. Had a wander around the common, over to the water tower etc. Highest ground found was at ST 57118 74712. | jonglew | 22/02/2018 |
Scrubby, cratered area on edge of large expanse of flat amenity grassland. It won’t be surprising if other summit candidates emerge. Parts of Westbury Road appeared by eye to be of a similar height. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/02/2018 |
Nipped up here in lunch break. walked/run/orienteered across the Downs many times but had i been here before? From parking to the west, over other earthbanks to reach HP. UA recompleted. | PeterD | 12/02/2018 |
Yet another new Bristol Tump. Completion always gives us an excuse for visiting our little grandson, not that we need excuses. | Campbell Singer | 10/02/2018 |
A family outing in cold, wet and windy weather. Any more Bristol Tumps yet undiscovered? | Barbara Singer | 10/02/2018 |
With my Mummy, Daddy, Pop and Grandma. Third time I have completed the Bristol Tumps and I'm still only 20 months. Good job they are on my doorstep. | Charlie Singer | 10/02/2018 |
Another family bag. | Cameron Singer | 10/02/2018 |
