| After Corfe Castle and lunch back at the tearoom, Lesley and I headed over to Hengistbury and we parked on the road near Tupton park. We headed along the river although had to detour where the ferries depart as it was flooded. Good visitor centre. Great views over to Isle of Wight and the Needles. Actual Hill very easy. Mound near Trig point. Rejoined start via urban roads. 1st of the BCP tumps done. Most of the tracks tarmaced. | Dazingdale | 30/03/2024 |
| Last hill to complete BCP County. Got to visitor centre car park shortly before sun set. Raced up the hill to try to catch it but sun sunk below horizon while I was on final stretch. Nice sky though and wandered over towards to coast guard hut to look out east towards IOW. First visit, will return when visitor centre is open, looks like it would be good to visit. | stagger onward | 02/03/2024 |
| Walk w/Devon, Karen, Coulton. Parked and went round Hengistbury Head and spit. | ZacField | 11/07/2023 |
| Been up here many times but first time bagging the summit on a walk with Corrina, Joe & Tom. Good views of the area. | fnem | 02/01/2023 |
| Parked near Wick Lane car park and followed the Stour Valley trail. Plenty of people about on Christmas Day enjoying a walk. Coffee and banana bread on the beach before heading back to cook Christmas dinner. | Buck | 25/12/2022 |
| From Wick Lane car park, followed the Stour Valley trail to the end of the dunes and back over Warren Hill and the trig, before walking along the seafront to Bournemouth town centre | richard69 | 28/09/2021 |

| Walked up to the hill from Bournemouth Beach. Funny enough, I didn't know this was a hill that could be ticked off, I just saw the hill in the distance and decided to walk to the top of it as it was so busy on the beach. | DavidHiner | 14/06/2021 |

| What a wonderful place - especially at 7am on a bright sunny sunday morning with just the early joggers and dog walkers out. Joined them for a 50 minute walk / jog over the top and along until possible to scramble down the crumbly cliff and out to the the end of a breakwater to stare at the sea (hard to believe the sea was not there 12000 years ago - dry land all the way to France , before the ice sheets further north melted). Back along the beach. Fascinating geology here with 6 distinct layers (mostly soft sandstone, gravels and clay) in the cliffs including the protruding ironstone boulders(doggers) which were mined in the 1800s and taken by boat to South Wales. Impressive rain water erosion rills present. 1 million visitors per year come here (according to visitor centre) - who judging by my brief visit probably bring 1 million dogs with them? | Chris Pearson | 24/03/2019 |
| Easy climb from Mudeford sands. Equally easy descent towards Hiker café where a peri-peri chicken wrap went down a treat. | KeithByTheC | 15/09/2018 |

| Short stroll from the car park. Done on an afternoon of trig pointing after a mountain bike race in the New Forest. | DanMaisieBex | 27/05/2018 |
| Dogs everywhere. Similar to Crufts on tour. One stupid owner had let the dog off the lead and it broke into the field to harass cattle. Gives other owners a bad name. Great viewpoint. | Barbara Singer | 03/02/2018 |
| Not your ordinary Tump. Parking, visitor centre, nature reserve, tarmaced path, train rides round the bay and a great vantage point. Who let the dogs out? | Campbell Singer | 03/02/2018 |
| Accidental bag whilst staying with the sister-in-law for a few days near Salisbury. | David Evans | 10/09/2017 |
| Saw no Natterjacks I'm sorry to say. Large party of young people on top, all plugged into music & studying their I-phones instead of the view. Youth of today, eh. | ngthack | 15/08/2017 |
| Revisit with M and X. It turned out they had been here before with Mrs Anchovy and Peter. Ferry from Mudeford. Found some natterjack toadlets by a pond at the foot of the hill. | Herbert Anchovy | 05/08/2017 |
| Revisit with M and HA. from Mudeford on the ferry having cycled from Friar's Cliff. Also came here with Chimp and Peter but not sure when. | Xan | 05/08/2017 |

| £1.50 for the car park then a super little walk to bag the trig and TUMP summit. I arrive at the summit just as the guns fired during the Christchurch Heritage Festival 2016 - Watch the Wall - Smugglers re-enactment. | Dugswell2 | 29/10/2016 |
| With Mrs Anthovy without the children. Nice vantage point of various familiar landmarks around Christchurch harbour. Went on to the beach huts and back along the beach. | Herbert Anchovy | 24/01/2016 |

| With my wife and daughter, lovely walking around here, highly recommended little bump. Make sure you come out of season though. On a weekday. At 7am. Because it's a right honeypot. | wheresthepath | 02/01/2013 |
| Visit from anchorage in the shallow Christchurch harbour | RichardM | 18/11/2012 |
