Fine Hill. | Wycombe Wanderer | 26/08/2023 |
Trig bag with R before going to watch SCL Gloucester. | Dan Baddeley | 12/08/2023 |
Third Hump of three for the day and definitely the pick of the bunch with outstanding views over the lower reaches of the Severn and the sun also putting in a welcome appearance too. | Alex C | 11/11/2022 |
From Robinswood Hotel, why not, I was staying. Up the path south of Ski slopes onto golf course to highest point. Small cut through to upper path and summit. Fine views over Severn Valley. | N.Morters | 23/09/2022 |
First visit for 22 years and it was nice to get into the robinswood Hill Country Park and gradually wander up the hill to the trig. Busy noisy M5 down to the south east and what sound like trail bikes making a noise in the hidden woodland below. 
Went into the new cafe when I got down to the car and heard a nice cup of tea and a vegan sausage roll and a really good piece of vegan chocolate cake. Feeling still a bit under the weather with cold and cough first of the week, put the fresh air and the walk was very necessary. | vegibagger | 23/04/2022 |
From small free car park at the top of Fox Elms Road. Very muddy, steep paths. Great summit area though. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 14/01/2022 |
From the entrance on Stroud Road West of the summit. A path allbthe way to the top. Down the trail north, east then north to Robins Wood roundabout | Moorponder | 01/08/2021 |

Large visitor car park to NW at SO 8372 1579 - Up wide well-worn path to trig point & nearby summit. Plenty of seating from which to enjoy the panoramic views after a stiff climb. (S) | gerrybowes | 31/03/2021 |
From the P @ SO837158. Much less urban than expected. Saw a fox on the 'Fox Trail'. | summitsup | 29/09/2020 |
From the large car park to the NE. Busy hill, even mid week. Trig, topograph & beacon on the summit. | DanMaisieBex | 02/09/2020 |

From the visitors' centre to the north. Busy spot today, hill felt higher than its 198m... | Aye Jimmy | 09/06/2019 |
Parked in the visitor car park. Picked our way up this surprisingly steep hill to a top adorned with picnic benches, BBQ pits, beacon, viewfinder and a trig point. 
Fantastic views of Gloucestershire. | ChinnockC | 26/05/2019 |
First bagged hill with my 4 and 2 year old. | Sishep85 | 22/04/2019 |
With Jenx and Bryher and scores of other New Year’s Day walkers. First folk on a hill top all trip! Good views of the town. From the usual CP to NW. | nordicstar | 01/01/2019 |
Festive atmosphere, crowded with walkers. Strange after the quit of the Shropshire and Hereford hills. | jenx | 01/01/2019 |
Directly up hill from back of visitor centre at north of country park, part of Geology (green) route. Fantastic views from trig point, beacon. Return to south to pick up horse trails back to car park. With Tim747. | CreakingHiker | 16/11/2018 |

Ran up from north car park at start of run with Helen Kirkby. Descended south then continued west to canal and cathedral! | davidpettit84 | 16/09/2018 |
Great views of the Cotswolds from the top. Beautiful area. | twg27 | 26/02/2018 |

Parked in the free car park at the visitor's centre of Robinswood Hill Country Park. There is a great view from the top, well worth the effort to get there. | Sprog | 12/08/2017 |
A round of Gloucester, Churchdown Hill from Church parking easy paths to top, nice view frim trig, Alney Island, nice to wander round but difficult to determine high point, Good pull up Robins Wood Hill & great views from Beacon/Trig, Leckhampton Hill from quarry parking, good views & interesting Devil's Chimney, Finally-quick jaunt through tall grass to Birdlip Trig & top, very warm all day some Sun. | apricorum | 25/06/2017 |
Bagged as YSM665 Robinswood Hill. We had planned to do this last night in the dark but both being tired teds meant we got lost in the housing estate near the ski centre. I am sure Mr U2 will complain that it was all my fault as I was navigating to the wrong hill with a different trigpoint on it, I'm saying nothing until I've seen my brief! So glad we've didn't do it as it was a killer on the legs and had a great view at the beacon which we would have missed out on. Much quicker on the way down. | thejackrustles | 25/04/2017 |
Lovely run/walk round & up to the beacon. | AngiLala | 18/03/2017 |
Detour on journey S. Country Park. Ascent from the W over hard frozen ground. Great view point. Calm in bright morning sun under cloudless blue skies, slight mist in frosty vallies to the SE. BBQ sites just below summit worthy of an evening summer visit. | RichardM | 20/01/2017 |
Highly recommended break from M5 ( J12). Superb views on clear frosty morning over Gloucester and Severn Vale . Trig, Beacon, BBQ sites, Topograph, benches, paths, information boards. We thought the HP is unmarked point on ridge path c 10 m before trig ie not in between trig and beacon. | Denise | 20/01/2017 |
From car park to north | eyesofthenorth | 09/10/2016 |
From Robinwood county park. I followed the Geology trail up, visiting the foot, then rim of an interesting quarry. The geology of the hill, and the view, is well described on a summit signboard, admirably not dumbed down, but not too complicated (like the Observer series). A clear day, so extensive views, though Gloucester cathedral backed by the Malverns held the eye. Worth every one of the 100 mins. | pwheeler | 22/09/2016 |
From car park SSW of hill. | jimbloomer | 31/05/2016 |
With ScottB. From car park at base. | masmith | 05/05/2016 |
Steep up hill from the small car park and there are many paths through the woods forcing you to take a rather indirect route to a very nice summit. | Swindon Bagger | 21/08/2015 |
1/9 quick walk up from the car park many muddy tracks criss cross the hill. Persevere and you will attain the top ! | Fergalh | 09/12/2014 |
With Ollie, Sue and Alice. Parked in CP off Fox Elms Road. Slipped and slid up over hill to top but worth the effort. Wall's factory clearly visible. | Newton Maximus | 07/12/2014 |
On way back from Josua's open day at Plymouth University. He didn't bother getting out the car. Went up from the country park car park. Follow the rough Tarmacy path up from here. | simon and co | 06/04/2014 |
From Country Park Car Park to N. The steep and muddy grass was treacherous on the descent, in the dark, wearing wellies. | Chris Peart | 29/12/2013 |
A straightforward walk from the (free) car park to the north. | JohnStoneham | 15/07/2012 |
Steep, slippery ascent from the car park marked on the 1:25k OS map SW of the summit. Return was past the dry ski slope and through a golf course. | jonglew | 25/06/2012 |
Used busy car park to NW. This hill has numerous pathways up .The summit has fine views and is maked by a trig pillar, beacon and a millennium beacon. GR8 views on this lovely March morning. | Dugswell2 | 05/03/2012 |
P near Fox Elms. Track and path to top is steep and slippy. Top seems to be just before you get to indicator. Unexpected narrow ridge with great views when out of trees 14:22 | chrisbien | 06/12/2011 |
Took one of the countless paths through the trees from the carpark. Grand views from the top. | Herbert Anchovy | 18/11/2011 |
Used the Geology trail however saw nothing but a load of old stone. Maybe should have used the Tree trail. | Martin R | 24/08/2011 |
