Very limited parking at the top of the minor road to the NE as the small car park there is closed and bouldered off until March 2024 due to tree felling. The PROW however all remain open. Followed the track and trod to the trig. No views. Solo. Interestingly Wentworth Forest is Wales' largest ancient woodland.richard6927/11/2023
Easy short walk from roadside car park to trig point, tucked away in bushes off the main path. No viewsCumbriancyclist21/10/2023
Walked up from Cadeira Beeches car park, easy approach, relatively overgrown but easy enough path to follow, tapped the trig and went to grid ref. in comments, no view whatsoever just head height ferns and brambles, took in a fair bit of Wentwood Forest to make it worth the trip, definitely better views to be found elsewhere in Wentwood but bagged it nonethelesslboutside28/08/2023

Quick bag from car park near top of hill. Ambled around undergrowth near trig pillar to try and find the true summit. Spent longer looking for a dropped glove than the rest of the walk.KevPalmer04/12/2022

Parked at the car park near high point on road at 413945. Take path that leads past the mast. The a left turn down a grassy path leads to the trig. on the right. Looks like it had been fairly recently painted as it was sparkling white. About 0.5miles round trip.JulieB22/03/2022
Parked at the top of the road, very short walk along the ridge, a bit blowy and rainy so good to do in about ten minutes. Views down to the S Wales Coast Path where we were heading for a few days.nickywood105/02/2022

Almost a drive-up. Small detour on way home from Caerphilly.davidpettit8421/11/2021
From free car park at Cadira Beeches. There is another free car park at top of minor road just east of summit if you want a shorter walk. KeithByTheC08/10/2021
Parked at Little Oak car park south of summit as we wanted to actually ascend the hill. We walked up a path we thought ran parellel to the road but eventhough it started good turned into the path from hell as it completely disappeared into almost jungle-like undergrowth conditions. We only just about made it through to a little trail leading to the summit trig. For obvious reasons we followed ridge to the higher car park and followed the road back to car. No views from the top as lots of small trees and bushes are blocking the way. 5 of 5 Marilyns today. That morning we bagged Mynydd Y Glyn, Cefn Eglwysilan, Garth Hill and Craig Yr Allt. Grey/murky weather. 45m ascent.DanTrig05/09/2021
