From Steep church via Shoulder of Mutton Hill. High point seems to be by gate to Water Tower. | IanHHill | 01/12/2023 |

With mntainman. | Dangerous Dave | 07/03/2023 |
Straight off morning ferry at Portsmouth from Caen after month bagging P600s in Spain with DD. 
Parked opposite footpath sign following prow past trig and turning left towards spot height along farm tracks. 
Wandered around Barns. 
Looks like hp is near SW corner of barn SE of spot height | mntainman | 07/03/2023 |
Verge parking near trig along FP and then around to HP near barns, which are definitely still there. | PeterD | 05/02/2023 |
Parked on road near trig. Continued to summit. | Minto | 15/01/2023 |
Parked at Hawkley, bagged Goleigh Hill and on to Wheatham Hill. Very misty day and tramped about the level field. Barns appear to have been demolished. | PhilipChaston | 13/11/2022 |
Verge parking to NW by start of RoW at SU 7263 2790 - SE along RoW to bend & then made way along edge of field before heading SE on machinery tracks across field to the summit GR. This lies about 20m beyond the SW corner of large metal barn. Barn corner is shown in summit photo, but the summit GR is probably just out of shot by a few metres. (S) | gerrybowes | 16/04/2021 |
somewhat unsatisfying indistinct point in field near barn, but lovely day for a walk enjoying autumnal colours. | Denise | 05/11/2020 |
From the band of trees SE over the summit area. Natural high point seems to be in the vicinity of the OS spot height. The LIDAR high point between cow shed and barn looks to be made up and levelled ground to me. | RichardM | 05/11/2020 |
Not a whole lot to get enthused over here. | Alex C | 23/09/2020 |
Arthur's first hump and trig point! Also with Rachel. | Madjonny | 05/10/2019 |

With K. Parked easily to NW. | Ashley | 10/03/2018 |
From Petersfield station via The Harrow Inn (don't miss this place if you like pubs), then up Shoulder of Mutton hill. Summit could be anywhere in the field - did a lap of the water tower too. Beautiful winter's day. | Richard | 24/02/2018 |
Easy summit, trig point is on a steady path. 
Hot day though! | derlan | 14/06/2017 |
Bagged after trig from Warren Corner. Had a good walk around plus a look in the woods. | Dugswell2 | 06/09/2016 |
By mountain bike South East to North West - easy | trimarc2 | 10/06/2016 |
From Warren Corner | RobertP | 14/12/2015 |
My brother printed out lists of Humps when he was recovering from a broken ankle. They gave the impetus to revisit old favourite walking areas. I'd walked past the road end but never visited the top 3 times but today sneaked onto it from the water tower. No one about so walked to road through Hill Farm. Then I did a Hangers walk with a pub stop at Hawkley Inn. Parking is easy on Old Litten Lane and I recommend the Hangers as a pleasant, unique area for walks. Did with Gibbet Hill(qv) in 2016 with my brother, for whom Hump bagging is part of the recovery plan. | pwheeler | 22/11/2015 |
3/7 Third climb of wet and windy day. All small due to inclement weather (Fort Southwick/Butser Hill/Wheatam Hill/Gibbet Hill/Telegraph Hill/Black Down/Linch Down/) | Fergalh | 14/11/2015 |
From Warren Corner, fairly insignificant. | rhalstead | 18/10/2015 |
Short muddy and windy up and back after nice lunch at Trooper Inn. | squeegs | 15/01/2015 |
From Warren Corner. Easy. | ijpowell | 08/09/2014 |
Approached via 246m trig and RoW, followed track to Hill Farm and agree the 249m spot height is the summit. | Chris Peart | 29/06/2014 |
Parked at Warren Corner and walked into field on ROW past trig point to given grid ref. | clivevilla | 08/10/2013 |
From start of ROW in Warren Corner. Looked like potatoes growing in the summit field. | chrisbien | 23/04/2013 |
walk to the column at 246m and on bridal path and the sides of a field by farm building to the GPS top. 13.30. | arranc | 27/02/2013 |
Short stroll from the south to break the journey on the way home from bat course. | Herbert Anchovy | 06/09/2012 |
Along from Warren Corner Pillar - loverly quiet farmland views | griefmiester | 03/07/2012 |
Part of a 45mile cycle ride from fleet. As others have said it is difficult to pin point a peak. Make sure to go to the trig point in the woods as this offers the best views.

Looked to me that the corner of the woods with the water tower in them is highest. Pays your money takes you choice. | simon and co | 30/01/2012 |
The top is at 249 point on the map - the water tower base is definitely lower and so are the two trig points. If your cheeky it is quick walk up the farm track | Martin R | 22/08/2011 |
Parked on small road leading to Ashford Chace SU740264. Up Shoulder of Mutton Hill via footpath, along Old Litten Lane to summit and back down via footpath by Ashford Farm. 
Weather was clear, dry, mild, light breeze. | Wesrob | 17/04/2011 |
Walk with Nicky, Emily & Joe | fnem | 17/04/2011 |
Main part of the hill is 1ml to ESE, around the 248m height at 740271, within Ashford Hangers National Nature Reserve | BrianMatthews | 01/12/2010 |
A loop through the Hangers between Liss & Petersfield stations. The slight rise in the southern fence of the water tower enclosure (concealed in woodland) seemed as good as anything around Hill Farm. | Smudge | 09/10/2010 |
An easy stroll up the hill from the entrance to the Nature reserve as there was little parking to be able to do a decent loop walk. | scooterjo33 | 03/09/2010 |
I walked from the nother, taking in the trig Point first and then headed along the path to this top. Hard to tell the highest point whether it is on the path or a little to the east of it. | Father Ted | 02/09/2010 |
20+ mile walk from Woolbeedding Common and back with Lesley and Betty (Jack Russell) taking in a few tops / trigs | Chris Pearson | 11/04/2010 |
Arable field no crops at present. Top very gently rounded. (Saw no sign of a water tower) | destaylor | 09/02/2009 |
