| From parking to W, en route to Castle Hill. Not really sure why I climbed this sub-tump. Cunning plan using aerial photo allowed access to correct tractor tyre lane which went over the summit. | Minto | 01/07/2023 |
| part of Macmillan mighty hike brighton to eastbourne | Clifford | 10/06/2023 |
| From Falmer Road car park under glorious blue skies-Newmarket Hill and Castle Hill,then back and on to Bullock Hill. | catman | 18/11/2022 |
| Parked at car park off B2123. A pleasant stroll to cover Bullock Hill, Castle Hill, and Newmarket Hill. | Buck | 25/06/2022 |
| A wet and windy circuit of Hollingbury Castle and Newmarket Hill. A worthy Clem. | PhilipChaston | 08/01/2022 |
| Parked at car park off B2123. Bullock Hill, Castle Hill, Newmarket Hill (followed tractor tracks from the radio mast). A nice round with good views. | PGCE | 23/11/2020 |
| On the return from Castle Hill. No sign of the BM at the radio mast. Useful tractor lines through the corn to the top. | DanMaisieBex | 15/07/2020 |
| Indistinct point in stubble field, with extensive views under blue skies. Felt lucky that crop had been harvested. | Denise | 30/08/2019 |
| Easy access from un-fenced Drove Avenue on NW side of summit. Crop harvested leaving straw stubble. Levelish summit, good views. | RichardM | 30/08/2019 |
| Lewes to Brighton walk. Past mast and carefully across sowed field to summit. There may be vehicle paths through the field if crops present so worth walking along fence line before starting out towards the high point. | jedthehumanoid | 10/04/2019 |
| Solo. like Wheelsy suggests, follow by-way called Drove Avenue and about 100m short of mobile station cut up to the top. Chilly today with fair views over to Chanctonbury Ring. | Pete West | 30/10/2018 |
| Track to S of hill was lined with sturdy BWF, but one to NW had no fence whatsoever. Followed this along until in line with highest point and then headed straight up. Highest point seemed to be at either end of the ring contour, with a very slight dip in the middle. | Wheelsy | 08/07/2018 |
| From road CP at Woodingdean business park, ploughed field | nordicstar | 11/05/2018 |
| Walked up from Brighton station on a warm sunny day. | Richard | 05/05/2018 |
| From Brighton Central Station, via the race course. Onwards to Bullock Hill. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 22/03/2018 |
| With K. End of last year's crop in summer field; followed tractor tracks. Footprints showed sheep had been grazing in field. | Ashley | 08/03/2018 |
| Crop at ankle height and no tractor tracks so requires care to tread between plants. | ijpowell | 27/10/2017 |
| With: solo; Short walk up from Falmer Road CP. Went up track to transmitter then back along top of field which had already been harvested and reseeded. | Ian Baines | 10/09/2017 |
| Moulsecoomb to Newhaven via Hollingbury Castle, Newmarket Hill and Rushy Hill. Within wheat field - tricky access when wheat standing (i.e. today). | Mark Jackson | 11/08/2017 |
| Easiest way to top in arable field was to walk ca. 140 m SE along fence from comms tower at 197m, with about 4m descent, this gave me a tractor track perpendicular to the fence so no crops trampled. This done, I had a lovely walk on a seaside breezy day to the SDW at Juggs Road- interesting to have 4 Ma close, in the very good view. Back via Swanborough Hill and the grassy trackround Standean Bottom. From the car pk at Norton Drive, as most others. | pwheeler | 20/05/2017 |
| A short walk up from the car park on the Falmer Road beyond the transmitter and then back along the top of the hill and down to the field track towards Bullock Hill. I am glad it was post Harvest. | Sixtyplus | 20/09/2016 |
| Walked up from car park to the top of this stubble field. | Dugswell2 | 06/09/2016 |

| Anticlockwise circuit visiting the trig first before wandering up over dried up remnants of some bean crop from the SW, with Geraldine Waring | vegibagger | 30/08/2015 |
| Short walk with dog along path and then up ploughed field to top. Good views over Brighton and Hove. | JOHNS | 10/08/2015 |
| Approached from Bullock Hill and open access land. No crops in field so approached from NW corner. Wandered about within 200m contour then returned to car park via TV transmitting station to the north. | mntainman | 11/03/2015 |
| With Bullock Hill from carpark | jimbloomer | 08/01/2015 |
| From car park on B road. Top a bit flat, summit could be anywhere. Not sure why I didn't do Bullock Hill at the same time! | tim747 | 11/11/2014 |
| Used tramlines through crop to access summit area. | Chris Peart | 28/06/2014 |
| Followed by Bullock Hill via Falmer Bottom | squeegs | 19/04/2014 |
| small carpark at intersection of tracks to s.w. - warns of thievery. walked up track to mast and then back over corn stubble. peeks of amex stadium as well as brighton and sea. | stig_nest | 23/09/2013 |
| CP at Falmer Rd. Up Drove Ave then using tractor tracks walked the ground within the 200m contour NE to SW. | chrisbien | 25/04/2013 |
| Across a flinty ploughed field to the top. 12.50. | arranc | 28/02/2013 |
| The ridge is very flat so take your pick as to where the exact summit is. | JohnStoneham | 24/10/2012 |
| From the car park to the sw. Top could be anywhere on the ridge so it is up to one's own conscience how much you trudge about in the crop. | clivevilla | 17/02/2012 |
| A short stroll up from west. Summit still covered in scrubby plants Martin trod on in August. | chriswatson | 21/10/2011 |
| Would have felt guilty about traipsing through recently ploughed field if not feeling irritated by yet another height barrier on carpark. The other hills around looked more interesting. | Martin R | 21/08/2011 |
| Followed tramlines through waist high barley crop after visiting nearby Bullock Hill. | Herbert Anchovy | 29/06/2009 |
| Arable field. | destaylor | 05/12/2008 |
| Newmarket Hill was this year at least an arable field. So instead of going straight for the top from Bullock Hill I went back to CP and used North track to minimise distance in field, although walked more in field as top uncertain. | garyhoney | 21/11/2008 |
