The terrain on Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire is open common land with predominantly grassy paths. These can be uneven, rocky in places (due to the underlying limestone), and become very steep, especially on the escarpment edges and approaches to the summit. The plateau can be windswept and very exposed to the elements. Paths can become extremely muddy and slippery after rain, particularly on the chalky/limestone sections. Strong, sturdy footwear with excellent grip is essential for this Gloucestershire terrain.

- Dog Notes:
Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire is a fantastic place for dog walking, offering vast open spaces for energetic dogs to explore. Dogs can often be off-lead on the open common, but ensure they have excellent recall due to the frequent presence of grazing livestock (sheep and sometimes cattle are essential for managing the common), golfers (Cleeve Hill Golf Club is unfenced on the common), other walkers, and very steep drops from the escarpment edges. Be mindful of adders in warmer months (keep dogs out of dense undergrowth). During bird nesting season (spring/summer), keep dogs to paths to protect ground-nesting birds like skylarks. Bring water for your dog, as natural sources are scarce on the common when visiting this Gloucestershire hotspot.
