Verge parking to east. Sign says CCTV but none seen. No need to enter aerial enclosures. World war 2 buildings. Ground both disturbed and generally level , so unsatisfactory as far as identifying the HP. Probably in copse, we thought , not in sheep pasture near fence as marked. Also visited trig, accessible through copse by wire fence, between aerials, lower.Denise 05/08/2023

Trig and summit surrounded by a triangle of roads. Parked at junction to NW, entered fields by gate to mast.Minto05/07/2023
Very poor summit area, accessed from mast track as others. With so much man-made ground, the top of the public road could count as the HP. Trig pt definitely not the HP. We walked on lanes from the Woodland Hill viewpoint- a much better place. Sunny, getting hot.pwheeler04/06/2023
Parked by mast to SE, but walked around to cuckoo lane gate to go to trig first, man made HP in copse, another smaller mound by the smaller mast and by fence. Back to road on track.PeterD04/05/2023

From parking on road just to E. 2nd Hump of 6 for the day on a drive from London.Mark Jackson05/11/2022
After Bell Hill mostly on tarmac. Took a while to find the way in and rode up to the trig. Had a wander round the copse and then a flying descent to The Fox, Anstey for a very high quality pintfasgadh01/09/2022

Unremarkable, for sure, but easy won. Note the site is bounded by triangle of roads. Park at north west point, walk down Cuckcoo Lane and enter at west side of site. Pass to north of transmitter and head for copse, the hillock within is your quarry.Pete West20/02/2019
