Panoramic views west across the Wye Valley to the Welsh hiils beyond. The summit is a bit further east, marked by a wooden post.

Credenhill Park Wood is a gorgeous woodland area only 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the village of Credenhill, about 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Hereford. In bygone days it was used as a Roman army depot, a medieval deer park, and it was the site of an Iron Age tribal centre. It has a number of good paths, great views of the Black Mountains, and stunning woodland flowers. It is a very popular place for local runners and dog walkers. It also is a UK-designated P100 hill with 100 metres of prominence. It rises to 725 feet (221 m) above sea level, with nice views over the Wye Valley. This is the main entrance to the woods, where there is a free car park.
