| Blundered about in the woods for a bit until beleived we must have found the heighest spot. Shall return one day to enjoy woodland in in-leaf splendour. With Geraldine. | Pete West | 29/01/2024 |
| Followed Gerry's route from the car park to the S, along paths to the bat house. Flat summit area. 20m NE in the wood might be as high. | LizH | 14/08/2023 |
| Parked in the car park and walked up to bat tower, then wandered off into the woods to look for the summit. | Minto | 30/06/2023 |
| Greensand Way Oxted - Ightam | twg27 | 22/08/2021 |
| Afternoon at Emmetts Garden NT place, then went in search of hill and trig-but-not at nearby Toy's Hill. Parked in the car park and walked up to bat tower, then wandered off into the woods to look for the summit. | MysteriousSue | 11/07/2021 |
| Large car park to S. at TQ 4698 5169 - From N. end of car park, took path which heads NW (waymarked 'Disabled Route') to crossroads - Straight across & up to T-junction - Turned right & then about 100m to land adjacent to bat house (TQ 46912 52064). A total distance of less than 400m. (S) | gerrybowes | 13/04/2021 |
| An Easter Sunday walk with family. Continued from Crockham Hill as part of a circuit from Hosey Common Car Park. Ascended from the south & visited the topograph on the way up. Headed off-path through the wood to avoid the busy car park. Summit much quieter although no views. | millionmts | 04/04/2021 |
| A circular walk from Westerham. It appears that the hill has acquired some notoriety. A JD bag on a tree stump, according to the chap I met, held unsavoury garments and should not be touched. I had to sanitise hands and mind! | PhilipChaston | 21/03/2021 |
| Circular walk from Edenbridge via Toy's Hill and Chartwell | rjf35 | 18/10/2020 |
| 33km walk around Westerham. | atreides7887 | 31/05/2020 |
| Lovely spring day with lots of families out walking. Wondered into the trees behind the building to find the likely HP | lerritt | 20/03/2020 |
| Popular place for walkers. From main car park and up through woods to bat tower. | Mark Sims | 01/03/2019 |
| Walked up from the NT Car Park, found the site of Weardale Manor and the NT Bat Tower first, before venturing into the woods to find the summit. | Sussexman | 27/01/2019 |
| walked up here today with several good friends from the main car park. This was the first of two hills 'bagged' today | dave-harris | 27/01/2019 |
| From CP to south, good tracks to Bat Tower. Good wander round the area to be sure of summit | nordicstar | 10/05/2018 |
| From NT cp to bat tower. Then south to trig pillar which isn't. It's a toposcope or something. | ngthack | 15/03/2018 |
| Westerham to Sevenoaks. Revisit. | Smudge | 02/02/2018 |
| Walk from and back to Hurst Green station mainly along Greensand Way, except for a detour via the footpath in front of Chartwell. Also went over Crockham Hill on the way. A pleasant hill on a late Summer day especially on the walk up from Toy's Hill village | trimarc2 | 22/09/2017 |
| With K. Nothing to it. Saw two deer at close quarters. | Ashley | 30/04/2017 |
| Visited in Mar 2016 on a walk including the grounds of Chartwell and Ide Hill. Shorter walk today with brother, Pete's first visit; Toys Hill car park, then summit (5 mins), Emmet's gardens tea room, Ide Hill, then back by the Greensand Way. Easter Friday, sunny, bluebells, bone dry underfoot (!) and a seemingly limitless supply of warm scones meant this classic weald walk was busy, but pleasantly so. | pwheeler | 14/03/2017 |
| From NT car park to Bat Tower. Mounds to west slightly higher. | PeterD | 07/03/2017 |
| Edenbridge Town - Toy's Hill - Crockham Hill - Hurst Green. Summit is by bat house. Nice woods, though strange seeing no mature trees and lots of young birch after the 1987 storm. Great views from the village on the S slopes - what a place to live. | Mark Jackson | 25/02/2017 |
| From the NT Carpark walked up through woods with Molly to the Bat Tower (converted in 1998) sitting on the summit. | JohRvs | 21/08/2016 |
| Parked in the car park on the road called Toy's Hill, just outside the village of the same name. A quick and easy ascent, a popular hill with dog walkers. With JT and HT. | Sprog | 21/08/2016 |
| From the free NT car park. Only a short walk to the old reservoir tower, now a Bat roost. Felt to us that this, or possibly the eathy mounds to its W, was the high point of the wooded flat topped hill. | RichardM | 30/01/2016 |
| 8/11 Eight of eleven on wet day (Langdan Hill/Heath Mount/London Road/Wrotham Hill/Holly Hill/Dettling Hill(North Downs)/Cheriton Hill/Toys Hill/Betsoms Hill/Westerham Heights/Botley Hill) | Fergalh | 25/12/2015 |
| From large car park. Flat summit area. | RobertP | 12/12/2015 |
| Parked in car park (TQ 46933 51660). Came across bat tower quite by chance and highest ground behind looks likely high point. Then had a wander in thick woods (would not want to do it in summer). Various candidates in overall flat wooded area, including ground in woods (TQ 46870 51940) near path junction | mntainman | 04/03/2015 |
| From large car park | jimbloomer | 11/01/2015 |
| Stroll up from car park.Wandered about in woods for a while.No views. | catman | 09/10/2014 |
| Cycled up from Edenbridge Station with Chris as part of a cycling pub crawl - won't be taking that hill on again! A shame the summit is wooded and there aren't any views to be had. | Richard | 21/06/2014 |
| Stopped at the NT car park before wandering to the top. Bit muddy underfoot. | steverd | 10/05/2014 |
| From the car park just south. Pleasant woodland. Thrashed around in the woods a bit. | simon and co | 07/03/2014 |
| From Hosey Common | squeegs | 26/05/2013 |
| CP to bat's tower. | chrisbien | 26/04/2013 |
| The bat tower seemed as good a candidate as anywhere for the summit but had a prowl around anyway. | Chris Peart | 10/04/2013 |
| From Hosey Common in the snow. Nice to do a decent hill after the nearby county tops. | rhalstead | 12/03/2013 |
| Parked in a dog walkers car park. Uphill on the road, into the wood to a NT bat house at the GPS grid ref. 15.10. No view - wood. | arranc | 01/03/2013 |
| Good car park & lots of walks possible. No definite top but my GPS gave the right readings near the bat tower. | David Rawden | 28/03/2012 |
| Nice surrounding area. | JohnStoneham | 22/01/2012 |
| Bagging Clems / Humps- a short stop off on the way from Ditchlng to Wellington College for an IB residential course. Had enjoyed previous day at nearby Chartwell with Dad, Jennifer & Derek. | Chris Pearson | 26/10/2011 |
| Followed the woodland paths from the car park. Uninspiring summit with views all obscured by trees. | davidpettit84 | 22/10/2011 |
| Batty - good car park for overnighting. | Martin R | 20/08/2011 |
| Parked in the car park, and did a 2.5 mile circular walk mainly to the south. This allowed for an ascent of 105m. Headed for the bat tower and from there walked around the woods looking for any bump that might be higher. | garyhoney | 20/03/2011 |
| Parked at official car park south of the top. | clivevilla | 20/07/2010 |
| Pleasant area to bimble around. Highest point seemed to be in woods a couple of hundred yards south of Bat Tower. | wheresthepath | 21/02/2010 |
| Nice woodland with a few old pollards, many sadly dead. Visited the bat tower and a ruined manor house and saw a weasel. Accompanied by Meg who managed to walk most of it aged 2 years and 4 days. | Herbert Anchovy | 25/09/2009 |
| Good area for walking or cycling, path good enough for wheelchairs from free car park. Went to Water Tower which is now converted for bat home. | Nick | 29/03/2009 |
| Left the Batmobile in the car park, then proceeded to the Bat Tower to bag HuMP, then tramped around woods to bag trig. Sunny autumnal day. | Dugswell2 | 17/10/2007 |
| Parked car park then tracks up. Easy. Trouble is finding the top - its in a large thicket of trees - all much of a muchness. GPS to exact point near enough and there is nothing to indicate the top apart from thicket. Fox and Hounds does good lunch. | destaylor | 09/10/2007 |
