Ordnance Survey Map of Garway Hill Common

Garway Hill rises to 1202 feet and the Common occupies approximately 200 acres of land draped across its summit like a blanket. The hill is a prominent local landmark, visible from all sides with a distinctive radio mast and "the pimple", the remains of a wartime radio tracking station at the top.

Its topography qualifies it technically both as a mountain (i.e. higher than 1000 feet) and as a "Marilyn" (a hill or mountain with a drop from the summit of at least 150 metres on all sides. For a satisfying, yet not too demanding, amount of effort in climbing to the top the rewards are great, with a 360-degree panorama opening out to take in seven surrounding counties in England and Wales.
