Walked up from Grinshill village with K, track on E side then paths up to summit. A bit wet, so views limited, but made out Stiperstones. | IanHHill | 21/02/2024 |
From the Corbet Wood CP, where we stayed in the camper overnight. Along track towards Clive until a metal barrier reached. From there it's a simple saunter to the summit. Great cliff-top views. | summitter | 01/09/2023 |

From All Saints Church in Grinshill. Took a series of steep paths from the South and wished I had taken my walking poles. An easier descent West to Clive Church and a stroll back past the Animal Rescue Centre to the car. | NormanW | 28/05/2022 |
Parked in the Corbet Wood car park and started on the main path to the N, but turned off too soon, taking zig-zagging tracks up the south side. Returned going N on the main track, joining the lower path past a couple of houses and back to the start. | LizH | 27/05/2022 |
From Corbet Wood CP, interesting paths through the wood. Returned via the Bridleway to North. With CreakingHiker. | tim747 | 14/12/2021 |

Early morning walk through old quarries to the trig point. Managed to get lost as didn’t have my map. | Pjb100 | 20/07/2021 |
From Corbet Wood CP. Weaved through the woods on various paths. Despite trees actually good views to S and W from the summit. Solo | RoguePulsar | 18/07/2021 |
*** Met LF at Prees Heath. 'Social distancing' in force so we drove in two cars to Grinshill and parked at layby at SJ529235. Walked up through Corbet Wood and its quarries to the carpark then back through the woodland. Didn't find the summit. Slight haze but bright with sunny intervals. A significant walk in sober times. | Skip | 21/03/2020 |
From Corbett Wood CP then along track on north side of hill to corner and up path by Nature Reserve sign, then various paths to lovely summit area and great views. Popular hill - 3 groups of people on top on a Monday in February. | Mark Sims | 03/02/2020 |

From the good car park. Top lane, great old quarries and fine view from top | nordicstar | 10/01/2018 |
Went up there to activate it for HEMA program (Amatuer radio). Got good views but terrible radio signals. Watched an aircraft fly around RAF Shawbury for a bit. | M6KIO | 06/08/2017 |
From the Corbet Wood car park, interesting place but not enough time to explore properly. Also unusual trig near summit, plus a topo. | Aye Jimmy | 18/07/2017 |
With K, others waited in car. We struggled from car park through woods. Much easier to follow track that runs along N side of wood. | Ashley | 09/07/2017 |
Last of three hills today. 1st was Haughmond hill, out and back from Shrewsbury then i took the 15.40 train to Yorton and took fp connecting with the B5416 and climbed Pim Hill looping around to Grinshill on some invisible footpaths. Took a bit of a circuitous route but eventually found a path to the top with Beacon, trig and toposcope. Fantastic views and nice crags too. Descent to Yorton for 19.50 train to Wem. | Dazingdale | 30/04/2017 |
From Corbett Wood car park, out on the lower path and back on the upper one. | Jim.Fothergill | 07/04/2017 |

I'm going through old photographs to find the dates of my climbs. I must have taken the walk up Grinshill almost 50 times over the years though | greboicus | 11/12/2015 |

Easy stroll from car park. | rhalstead | 05/05/2014 |
Station road, back lane and via clive church and then through woodland along well defined footpaths. Lovely summit with a beacon and large sandstone quarry on its side. | hodder | 12/11/2013 |
Clive to Weston. Fairly clear conditions to demonstrate this fine viewpoint. | Smudge | 20/10/2012 |

Parked nr Clive church. Up track marked for school then path to top. A great wee hill with fantastic views. | chrisbien | 10/04/2011 |
Corbett Wood car park at SJ525238. Easy route is west along track and then up path at SJ521239 but dropping down into quarries gives a more interesting stroll. Very surprised to find permanent red beacon light on summit - just got the Hummer joke. | chriswatson | 05/04/2011 |

lovely views | oldpens | 05/08/2010 |
There is some parking up the un-tarmacked drive past the church at Grinshill. Nice hill with great views. Don't do what I did and try to go straight up from Grinshill - you will have to use hands a feet for this. Better to track around the back of the | simon and co | 06/04/2010 |

Perfect little hill - steepish walk up through woods and great views. | clivevilla | 18/01/2009 |
Good pull from the South. Probably easier from elsewhere as saw a few dog walkers at the top. | destaylor | 14/09/2008 |
