From the N. Easy roadside parking on Towerfield Drive & then 60m or so to the obvious high point in middle of roundabout. Tick. | gerrybowes | 03/09/2023 |
From Resco car park. | mart0797 | 20/03/2023 |
There’s a bank between the roundabout and the council offices which is higher than the roundabout. | Adrian | 18/07/2022 |
With J. Parked in Tesco car park on a busy Saturday morning. Back to roundabout. Stood in middle with my GPS, tick, back to store. What am I doing?! | Beeliner | 02/07/2022 |
From Tesco car park. Walked all round it, then across to the grassy centre. No GOMLs or barbed wire fences were encountered. | Minto | 01/07/2022 |
From Tesco - light traffic so easy access to roundabout | Bramley | 16/01/2022 |
You can get 3hrs free parking at Tesco, which really ought to be adequate... | agentmancuso | 30/06/2021 |
Included a full circuit of the top in my car for good measure. | mae | 05/09/2020 |
Parked at Tesco and walked up to the roundabout. I now feel like a geek standing in the middle of a roundabout, at least no one honked their horn! | WAYNE ROWLETT | 30/08/2020 |
From Tescos car park. Forgot my crampons but still made it! Solo. Visited the trig on Roborough Common on the way back north. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 06/08/2019 |
Quick circular walk from Tesco car park. Then popped into the store for sandwiches. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/03/2019 |
PArked in Tesco's car park. Not a challenging feat of moutaineering. | lenman | 05/01/2019 |
Visited on the way to a job in Plymouth | magirob | 01/04/2018 |

Top of the roundabout. Easy to cross the road. | Campbell Singer | 04/02/2018 |
Parked in Tesco car park and climbed back up to the summit! | clivevilla | 12/11/2017 |
Made it across the hazardous road to ascend the obstacle. I particularly liked this one, because I'm not very good with heights. | PK1 | 21/04/2017 |
Busy Saturday evening, standing in the middle of a roundabout!! Must be Nuts.... | rhalstead | 04/03/2017 |
Shame the wooded bank on E side of roundabout is just outside the UA boundary, a much better CoU HP than the roundabout. Took the trouble to go up there just in case, but map says niet! | jonglew | 12/09/2016 |
Parked at Tesco. A short walk to watch the traffic go round. Probably the most dangerous unitary top. Solo. | bolton | 18/10/2015 |
Short walk from Tesco car park. Glad I didn't have to explain the many passers by why I was crossing to the middle of the roundabout and then returning. | PeterD | 21/06/2015 |
1/7 Aprroached from Lidl car park not the hardest climb ! | Fergalh | 12/04/2015 |
Hmmmm | RHW | 06/04/2015 |
Not many CoU's you can also top up your phone, buy diesel and get some bananas! | arranc | 26/03/2015 |
One of those where you do wonder why we do this? | Mark Sims | 23/09/2014 |
Accidental bag! | moorsman | 28/08/2014 |
On a wet day whilst Josh was at Plymouth University open day. | simon and co | 05/04/2014 |
One of the great UA tops! I felt a tremendous sense of empowerment as I stood in the middle of the island. Also investigated the densely vegetated higher mound that is just outside the boundary - some interesting earthworks there. | signyred | 03/04/2014 |
Another roundabout. Oliver wasn't very impressed. | Newton Maximus | 27/12/2012 |
Drove all the way down from Coventry only to find myself in the middle of the rounderbout! I too made use of the facilities at Tescos. The weekend got better from here on in. Climbed Brown Willy as my last Historic County top. | Father Ted | 07/09/2012 |
A fine roundabout. Newly mowed today. Highlight of the walk was parking next to the lawn mower. | destaylor | 29/06/2012 |
Wow! | chrisbien | 23/05/2012 |
Park in Tesco car park then jumped on the grassy roundabout. | Dugswell2 | 11/03/2012 |
NOT THE MOST INSPIRING BUT HANDY FOR PARKING AND LOO. AS UNITARY AUTHORITIES ARE BASED ON HUMAN RATHER THAN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, WOULDN'T IT BE MORE SENSINBLE TO COLLECT SOMETHING LIKE TOWN HALLS? | BURGESS | 12/02/2011 |
Middle of roundabout near Tesco's. Higher ground to the East is over the boundary in Devon. | webmaster | 14/08/2009 |
A quick dash from Tesco's | Overthehilljill | 03/05/2009 |
Middle of roundabout between Tesco's and the council offices - is this the most humiliating summit to stand at with a GPS whilst your brother takes a picture on his huge SLR? Still, at least there's toilets and easy parking in Tesco...! | wheresthepath | 25/09/2007 |
Took high point to be in middle of roundabout near Tescos.Nice car park. | electricratman | 14/08/2007 |
drive over en route to Tesco | Rhayader_wander | 30/05/2007 |
could not resist claiming top on route to watch football, parked up just beyond roundabout and a quick walk round with gps, | asbown | 17/02/2007 |
Estimated date. Fairly confident the centre of the roundabout is manmade (other nearby roundabouts are similar), given which the HP may be on the pavement to N. Raised section by boundary is I think manmade too. | amarillo-oro-como | 01/01/1993 |
Driven past many times, never gave it thought, First log for the site. Now to back date some others!! | Chris Derrick | 26/11/1987 |
