As you haven't provided a postcode, I can't tell what specific transmitter you need, but I have estimated a postcode and inserted the postcode into BBC Reception. It shows three transmitters that could be received: Stockland Hill, Mendip and Rowridge (vertical). Rowridge VP seems to be the best transmitter for your location. You should be able to generally receive PSB 1, 2 and 3, but the commercial multiplexes are not as strongly received.
You could be better off with an aerial with higher gain or moving up the hill if possible. Also, check where the horizontal aerials are pointing. If they're pointing the same direction (Rowridge Horizontal), try that. You may experience a lower signal, though.
I unfortunately can provide much help since 1) I can't physically be there, and 2) I'm not a very good expert.
Regardless of that, I hope this information may help you.
