Wiltshire Hills - Long Knoll and Win Green

3 April 2004

Long Knoll


The grassy ridge of Long Knoll, a few miles south of Frome, just inside Wiltshire


Looking east along the ridge


From the dip half-way along, looking along the hedge to the summit and trig point


Having visited the trig point, George explores the other side of the barbed wire fence - something he was all too keen to do


George on top of Long Knoll (288m / 945ft)


After a steep descent, we walked back along the path at the base of the hill


Looking across the valley to White Sheet Hill

Win Green


The byway along the ridge to the summit of Win Green


The stand of trees occupy the highest point by a few inches.


George lies by the toposcope on the summit of Win Green (277m / 909ft)


Today was not the clearest of days, but the toposcope shows that the views can be extensive


The summit car park. George and I had spurned this lazy person's option in favour of the ridge walk from the east


An impressive looking house seen from the ridge - Higher Berrycourt?
