Some describe the view from this hill (at 182m) as the best view in Woodcote. It sure is lovely - to the south-east, over the paddocks and then College Wood, you can see the distant landscape miles away from here. Worth stopping to enjoy.

The route covers 7.0 miles (11.2 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 370 feet (113 metres), making it a pleasant journey for most hikers.

The trail conveniently begins at Woodcote Village Hall, where you'll typically find parking available for your vehicle. As you plan your visit, be aware that some sections of the path can be uneven and even steep in places.

Therefore, wearing sturdy, waterproof footwear is highly recommended to ensure a comfortable and safe experience on the route.

Beyond the natural beauty, this route offers a glimpse into local history with the inclusion of St Peter and St Paul Church. This impressive Grade I listed Norman building dates back to the 12th century and features rare early 13th-century wall paintings, adding a cultural highlight to your hike.
