woodini254 visited on 6th May 2021 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 Hetty Peglers Tump or Uleybury Long Barrow can be accessed by parking by the side of the road with a short walk across a field, when I last went the the entrance was locked but I understand that there is now access to the interior which from a visit in the 1990's is very impressive but you will need to crouch really low to enter.

oldman visited on 23rd Nov 2018 Difficult to get a sense of the layout from pictures until you go inside and find there is no one place to get a good photo.

custer visited on 2nd Apr 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Lovely site well protected from the field, some good tree management nearby, shame someone has marked their name on the entry stone.
MartinWare visited on 13th Mar 2013 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 A lovely visit. Easily accessed by parking opposite (taking care not to block field entrance or Gateway of substation). Information signs provided by English Heritage. Litter free site, well looked after. The wood behing had recently been coppiced at the upper edge. I would recommend, if anyone is planning a visit here, that they can do this, Nympsfield Long Barrow, Soldiers Grave, Minchinhampton Long Stone and The Tinglestone all in the same half day at a leisurely pace by pre-planning their route well. Will definately return this spring / summer.

4clydesdale7 visited on 28th May 2011 - their rating: Amb: 1 Access: 4 This came as an awful shock - I have an idea that there was muddled thinking by local government - and we have the gall to criticise 19th century tomb hunters

TheCaptain visited on 14th Apr 2009 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 March 2009 and Hetty Pegler`s Tump was closed and sealed off to the public, due to concerns over its safety, with the internal drystone walling collapsing due to vandalism and the weight of the capstones resting on these walls since the 19th century reconstruction. Scaffolding has been used to prop up the chambers, and the entrance passage and courtyard sealed and filled with earth.

To the east of the mound is a deep forecourt. The barrow is reputedly named after Hester Peggler, the land owner’s wife in the 17th century.
Note: Hetty Pegler's Tump has reopened to the public after two years of repairs. See latest comments for link to BBC Video
