DESCRIPTION

A conical hill - soarable on the East and South sides - useful training area on the NW.

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- soaring
- thermals

weather

Top T/O’s are over fences or hedges. Do not fly NW or S faces in strong winds as lower ridges produce dangerous turbulence. There is considerable rotor on the East face if the wind is off to the north. Not recommended for HG, either flying or the carry! Very rough in thermic conditions. Used as a training site (top to bottoms) & PG ground handling. PG easy while treated as a training site. If you try to soar it is unfriendly and has a very narrow lift band. HGs have not flown here for many years.

access

Drive North from Highbridge on the A38. First left to Brent Knoll, after half a mile turn right into Church lane and left into Hill Lane, up the hill to the brow & Manor Farm. Park in the car park on the left. Walk up the footpath (through the farm) to the top of the hill.
