This County Top can be done as a very quick drive-by if, as I was, you’re short on time and on the way to somewhere else. There’s parking space for a couple of cars at the transmitter station. Don’t worry too much about whether you’ll find a parking space. You’ll soon find out when you get there why this isn’t one of England’s Top Ten tourist attractions.
There’s a Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee boundary stone by the transmitter. From here, cross the road following the Cotswold Link and take a bearing using the coordinates above to reach the high point of Warwickshire. Retrace your steps to the car, get in and drive somewhere more interesting.
If you have the time a more interesting way to bag this would be as part of a long distance walk on the Cotswold Link.
