Good view at the top

My best tip to best experience Dover's Hill is by starting at the car park and walk along the Cotswold Way. A walk down into Chipping Campden is also worth a few additional miles.

Dovers Hill is a good climb with decent road surface, steep in places but fairly constant gradient. Enjoy!

Woohoo, you've made it to the top of Dover's Hill! Catch your breath and enjoy delightful views over Gloucestershire from this scenic hilltop.

The trig point and view point is about 100m from the road, well worth the push. It's at 230m above sea levels and offers great views north and north-west. Drovers Hill is one of the top 100 road climbs in the UK a tough challenge and a separate highlight.

The Welcombe Hills and Clopton Park offer delightful walks through grassland and woodland. Woolly thistle, quaking-grass and the diminutive adder’s-tongue grow in the grasslands where ant hills created by yellow meadow ants are a distinctive feature. The woodland contains oak, horse-chestnut and beech with English elm. Birds are plentiful, with great spotted woodpecker, sparrowhawk, little owl, treecreeper and finches enjoying the woodland where ravens breed in spring. Brimstone butterflies are numerous in the spring sunshine. History of the Welcombe Hills: a Shakespearean tale The reserve may have got its name from a historic well found here with its inscription 'SJC 1686'. Margaret, daughter of William Clopton who died in 1592 supposedly drowned here. It was around this time that Shakespeare was writing his famous play, Hamlet, and its believed that this tragic event provided the inspiration for his 'Ophelia' and her lonely death.

Does what it says on the tin

Bloody steep! But worth it
