Getting there
Troopers Hill is in St George, East Bristol between the A431 Air Balloon Road and Crews Hole Road. There are four pedestrian entrances to the site from Troopers Hill Rd. Alternative entrances are from the east end of Malvern Rd; from Summerhill Terrace or following the public footpath from the milestone on Summerhill Road – using any of these allows you to get to the top of the hill and admire the views without the need to climb any steps. Follow the paths around the field to access the Hill.

By Bus
