Second Trigpoint on my walk from Cleeve Hill Golf Club. Followed the footpath along the top of the hill around the golf course. Trigpoint located near the fence line about 300m from the mast. Slight damage to the top of the trigpoint and it has some green spray painted symbols on the one side. Good views which are better further down the hill, especially with the cloud inversion today.

Slightly chipped on the top around the spider. Great all round views. Easy access. Cleeve Hill north pillar, The Ring, just visible to north west. Noted this is Gloucestershire county top.

Bagged at the end of a day out in Herefordshire and Worcestershire, 'cos I was passing it on the way home and it'd be rude not to! Smartly painted trig with green star patterns on one face, in a beautiful location that was mercifully free of cattle today. Good way to end an epic day of rockbothering.

Parked on the road to the south west of the pillar. Entered the trig field via the public right of way, and then walked the fence line up to the pillar. There is some slight damage to the top of the pillar. The cap was missing, so I replaced it. Situated at the highest point in the Cotswolds, and is the Gloucestershire county top - 330 metres (1 of 7 today in and around Cheltenham)

Its almost a flat ride to this one from TP6420. Watch out for flying golf balls and stationary sheep dropping. Views are limited because of the lay of the land. But its rather nice to be up here on such a great day! The TP has a plaque saying what it is and it is an offense to damage it. The views from the Cleeve Hill memorial tree is much better. That is only a short distance from it. Now to get back for breakfast.

The pillar is sited next to the remains of a dry stone wall on the edge of grassy common land on a flat topped hill to the north east of Cheltenham. It was easily reached from the nearby car park next to the masts. The trig has a Passive Station plate and FB S1529 but its spider lacks a cap or plug. The hazy outline of rolling hills could be made out in the early evening haze to the east and south and the site looks over the expanse of Cleeve Common to the north. The common was a very pleasant location for an evening stroll. It was full of birdsong and there is a good view over Cheltenham near the masts. The grassland of the common is a SSSI and the area is within the Cotswold AONB.

Highmark for the weather and for it being the highpoint of gloucestershire, and of the cotswold. I prefer "The ring" for views though. But it was a pleasant walk/jog between the two. Along wall from car park beside mast, Theres a chip on the top, But otherwise good.

Enjoyed the sunshine on the first of 3 county tops today. Nice stroll across the field from the road end car park. For the best views you need to head for the escarpment as the hill top is rather flat and the main focal points are the almost compulsory masts. Plenty of room for kites but none up here today.

Gloucestershire’s county top. Having bagged The Ring (TP6420) I walked the 1.43 miles to Cleeve Hill in 27 minutes, scattering sheep as I went along! There are no real views to speak of from here as the land is relatively flat on top of the hill. Pillar is in good condition, with an apparent repair to the W corner of the top. FB faces NE; SW sighthole open, all others plugged. The SE sighthole’s plugging has cracked so the hole is now in fact partly open. Position logged from GPS device accurate to ±5m.

Gloucestershire's county top, a Marilyn and a trig point - this place has everything going for it! Looks as though the pillar has had some repair work done, but is in good condition. We parked on a minor road to the east and walked past Belas Knap long barrow and later bagged The Ring trig. ***Re-visited 19 Jun 2021 on a walk round the common, with Rob and Smey.

I visit this hill many times as it is local and has magnificent views; not so much from the trig point, but certainly from Cleeve Cloud to the NNE... have also seen it through many weather conditions - snow as thick as 2ft (drifting much higher), sunshine, wind, heat, rain... and it's a good cycle up there as well (I use it as one of my main entries to the Cotswolds by bike).

Snow at the trig point One cold and snowy day, I explored up on the hill and took this picture of the trig point.

On edge of dry-stone wall about 300 yards from the car park at the end of the dead-end lane. The central plug is missing but otherwise it's OK. The base stands just proud of the grass - it's on the edge of a huge pasture field with newly-sheared sheep. Traces of paint left on all four faces. There is an extensive repair to one top corner. There are distant views in all directions but the flat nature of the surrounding land means the views are all distant. Such a pity about the radio/phone masts by the car park which ruin the ambiance of the place. It has an OS anti-vandalism plate on the N face.

Bagged whilst walking Cotswold Way. A slight detour but it was a hill summit. (Logged this 87 ascent in Nov 11 as looking through old logs and pics. Remember wondering at the time if all trigs had their own numbers.)

Numerous visits to this in the 70's as my local hill summit since moving to cheltenham in 1971, including in the middle of the night with students from Chelt and Glos College of Art and Design while studying architecture. Also visited and in cloud!
