| Followed Chiltern Way from Honey Lane heading for trig pillar shown on map at SE corner of Keepers Cottage which I could not find and assumed must be within cottage private grounds. Returning to Chiltern Way headed for Bowsey Hill passing cottage arround north and West boundaries. Returning from Bowsey Hill again headed for SE corner but this time along the south boundary which was a minor bushwack through nettles. Spotted trig pillar (painted black) over wall in grounds of Keepers cottage. Did cross 140m contour on west boundary but assume HP within private grounds. Still claimed as think head above HP and completely circled it within cottage boundary | mntainman | 05/07/2020 |
| Climbed with Bowsey Hill from Warren Row | Rockdoctor | 28/06/2020 |

| HP outside garden on mound about to burst forth with daffodils. Trig visible inside garden. Pleasant woodland walk on murky day. | Denise | 15/02/2020 |
| Circuit of woodland and field paths including Ashley Hill from Knowl Hill on a grey and wet afternoon, plenty of mud around. Raised ground on S side of fence. A host of Daffodils about to burst into flower to take over from the flagging Snowdrops. Also visited trig and front door of house. | RichardM | 15/02/2020 |
| You cant get to the summit as it's in the Keepers Cottage. Easy walk to Bowsey Hill from here. | jarmin45 | 15/12/2019 |
| 3rd tump of the day. 1st, Surrey Hìll from Bagshot station then after trains to Reading and out again, Wargrave island continuing to Bowsey hill then on good fp to reach natural Hp beside tennis courts. Followed boundary to gates but land lower so continued to Fultness Wood Hill. Strangely, my readings were higher at Bowsey hill... | Dazingdale | 21/08/2019 |
| 2nd walk of the day, a 6km loop for Ashley and Bowsey Hills. | atreides7887 | 16/06/2019 |

| On own. From Warren Row through pleasant deciduous woodland to Keepers Cottage. Startled a deer in woods - actually I was the one startled. Tried intercom to gain access to trig point in the garden but no-one home or they saw me coming. Large barking dog inside this secure inaccessable property. Walked around perimeter and into highest part of woodland. Very quiet, not even a dog walker. Return same route. | Beeliner | 22/03/2019 |
| Circular walk: Knowl Hill, Bowsley Hill, Ashley Hill | callumorr | 10/01/2019 |
| From the Dew Drop. Lovely pub! Up through the woods, round the perimeter of garden then because gate was open, with permission to visited trig. With B and R. | jenx | 09/12/2018 |
| High point by the heavily fortified perimeter fence of Keeper's Cottage. Up and back from Warren Row. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 24/11/2018 |
| Parked outside the church in Warren Row and climbed Ashley Hill and Bowsey Hill. With JT. | Sprog | 25/10/2018 |
| With Jenx and Bryher, from the Dew Drop Inn to North. Got permission to bag the trig inside garden. Nice pub for refreshments after a 6 Hump tour, only one new one for me though! | nordicstar | 12/09/2018 |
| Included Ashley Hill as part of morning 5Km family ramble. Got as close as possible to trig point on the summit without entering the private garden. | VirtualMountain | 10/09/2017 |
| Wargrave - Bowsey Hill - Ashley Hill - Fultness Wood Hill - Marlow. Lots of woodland and a relative lack of good views but a decent walk. | Mark Jackson | 17/07/2017 |

| Easy now to bag summit of Ashley Hill then a quick dash to bag the black trig on a quiet Friday morning then off to Bowsey Hill. | Dugswell2 | 09/09/2016 |
| From Hurley- parked near to main Henley road and took path via Ladyeplace. Nice woods, but scrappy round summit. The trig point is in the grounds of a house; wandered round its perimeter fence where there is higher ground on its S side. Returned via Frogmill and Thames Path; huge numbers of people park on these meadows on sunny days- leave this section for an evening walk. I started my walk at 1630 hrs- plenty of time | pwheeler | 30/07/2016 |
| Managed to park just south of the bend east of Warren Row. It took 35 minutes return. A bit of a grim place with a security fence around a very uninspiring large residential property at the summit. Solo. | bolton | 24/05/2016 |
| With K after doing the 5 chiltern humps. This tiny ascent was biggest of day. Pleasant enough. | Ashley | 20/05/2016 |

| Last time I went to the Dew Drop was nearly 40 years ago. Up from road and wandered round very secure house. | PeterD | 09/10/2015 |
| Parked in Dew Drop c/p. Walked round heavily fortified house at top, but couldn't see trig. pillar. Saw a vertical black stone slab in garden near main gate. | ngthack | 25/08/2015 |
| A Google search shows that Ashley Hill is a popular name for people including a male boxer, a female Texan folk singer and 25 other professionals who use Linked-In. Is this the most popular use by real people of an actual hill name?- there must be others? Sadly I failed to find, not surprisingly, anybody sharing the nearby name of Pudding Hill. | Chris Pearson | 14/06/2015 |
| High point could be small mound near tennis court west side. With Tash after Bowsey hill from Holly cross xroads About 3 hour round trip lovely woodlands. | pigerg | 09/05/2015 |
