It commands a clear view to the west, over Cheltenham and the racecourse, over the River Severn and into Wales; and to the north over Winchcombe.

To the north by the northwest, another summit at 1,033 ft (315 m) high boasts a toposcope and a trig point, offering far wider views.

From the south, a road for car access ends very close to the summit trig point, which is a short walk from the parking area.

To the north and to reach the more favourable viewpoint, a minor road leads off the B4632 to the golf course where there is free parking in a disused quarry.

There are numerous other ways to reach the hill, and there is a well-maintained network of paths and tracks crossing it in many directions.
