Parked at (small) parking marked on map NW of the church and followed the easy RoW up to the trig. Base of tree 22m NW certainly seemed higher. | Vulcan | 13/01/2024 |
Plenty of parking on top of the hill. Lovely autumn colours. | Play2End | 14/11/2023 |
As David Evans. Parked at E. end of large parking area at SP 9129 3434 & then NNE along driveway marked 'Private' for about 20m - Beared left along well-worn path for about 120m & then beared right & E. along signed woodland path to trig point; this is tucked away behind a clump of rhododendron. | gerrybowes | 19/07/2023 |
An easy, short walk from the car park through the woods. Trig point is near the golf course fence by the path. | cjwilliams | 27/03/2023 |
Snow cover today. | Adrian2 | 08/12/2022 |
Good car park to the SW, opposite drive marked private SP91287 34344. Quickest way to summit is to go down the private drive for about 20 yards and bear left on a well walked path. Trig is by golf course fence and is hidden somewhat by rhododendron bushes and a fallen birch tree. | David Evans | 04/11/2022 |
Ridgmont - Brogborough Hill - Bow Brickhill - Bletchley. | Mark Jackson | 21/05/2022 |

Parked in Church car park. The most direct route would appear to be down driveway immediately opposite but this was signed 'Wood Lodge' with a 'Private' sign. Privacy respected I went down the hill 100m, turned right going round a felled tree (to stop parking issues) and up some steps. R at the top, through some saplings and under some beech trees - note blue climbing ropes. Go straight ahead as a path drops away to the left ** and look for a wire/barbed-wire fence ahead. The path meets this fence and then turns back into vegetation. As you break out from under the Rhodedendrons the trig is just behind you to the right. Return is the reverse or return to the point marked ** above. Look for path to L. This brings you out at the entrance to Wood Lodge without entering the property implying that you could possibly enter by this route. | Meanderer | 28/06/2021 |

Driving up the A5 to Mursley Mound to compleat Bucks. I'd noticed how easily Bow Brickhill could be added the day and drove to Apsley Wood car pk, visited the church, got confused by missing signpost, then found way to trig/HP. Nice wooded area, very popular with locals. | pwheeler | 27/08/2020 |

Solo. First 'new' hill post lockdown. Parked in Bow Brickhill village and walked up Church Street. Into the woods via the bridal path. Kept to the path and behind wood lodge then followed the barbed wire fence into the woods through Rhododendron bushes. After not seeing the trig I thought I had probably gone too far so turned back. Trig easy to spot coming back - tucked inside the Rhododendron bushes. | Buck | 01/08/2020 |
Parked opposite Wood Lodge entrance on Church Road with plan to access trig directly from SW. 
Turns out private access to golf course so ended up with clockwise circumnavigation Duchess golf course. 
Very pleasant stroll. | mntainman | 20/06/2020 |

Foot of evergreen over BWF near trig point. Lovely woods. | maclrc | 18/01/2020 |

With NS. Circular starting in the free car park at Woburn. Good paths through the woods to Aspley Heath, then WSW towards the golf course. Crossed the barbed wire fence onto the edge of the golf course to the prominent pine tree by the edge of the woods which appears to be the highest point. The trig is on the path side of the barbed wire fence (ie. not the golf course side) only a few metres from the path. Then a pleasant stroll back past the golf club, Hundreds Farm and Horsemoor Farm, and an excellent coffee and mince pie at Flootes. Very pleasant way to pass a surprisingly nice afternoon after the previous day's storm. | Owen B | 03/11/2019 |

Parked at end of RoW to W - a couple of spaces to pull in. Followed RoW and ended up on mountain bike tracks which led to trig. HP seemed to be over fence on other side of fairway to S. | Wheelsy | 09/06/2019 |

On own. Parking area at top of road near church. Followed paths through woods to trig point next to rhododendrons. No need to go onto Woburn golf course. Seems a popular area for mountain bikes judging by tracks. | Beeliner | 22/03/2019 |
Ben Rinnes | 13/03/2019 | |
Parked near the church, walked back down the road and then up through Aspley woods. For a UA top this one was enjoyable. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 09/03/2019 |
Walked up Church Street from the village. Wandered around the golf course searching for potential higher points. Back down the path by the church. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 09/03/2019 |
Parked in Bow Brickhill village and walked up Church Street into the woods. Imagine the trig point would have been quite hard to find without a GPS. Lovely early morning light, an enjoyable short walk. | jedthehumanoid | 24/02/2019 |
An out and back from Bletchley station (no trains to Bow Brickhill on a Sunday). Path upto Trig then step over fence to explore what seemed like higher ground next to a Pine tree. Another contender is the high ground next to another pine on the opposite side of the fairway. Reversed route to get back to Bletchley. Homeward bound via Milton Keynes Central and Tamworth. | Dazingdale | 13/01/2019 |
Aspley Guise to Bow Brickhill. | Smudge | 31/12/2018 |
From the church car park with family including my grandad, jonglew. So now you know we're family. Hope I revisit one day as it's my local hill. | williamglew | 18/11/2018 |

K A quick visit stopping at the Church and following the FP to the trig. | crazy | 24/02/2018 |
Approached across the golf course and explored a couple of possible high points among the pines and rhododendrons. Trig was definitely lower and was well hidden in the rhodos on the other side of the fence. | Herbert Anchovy | 05/02/2018 |

Short, pleasant, Autumnal, woodland walk from church. Trig within small rhododendron clearing outside of low, wire golf course fence. High point possibly a few metres away, by pine, within golf course. Did not visit alternative on opposite side of road- contour ring of same height- as groundsmen working but did not appear higher from bridleway near aerial. ( No line of sight). The LIDAR GR definitely seemed lower. | Denise | 14/11/2017 |
Short walk from church car park through autumnal beech woods. Levellish summit. Easy access to trig pillar in clearing in birch and rododendron next to golf course boundary fence. A somewhat indistinct and unconvincing summit. | RichardM | 14/11/2017 |
PhilipChaston | 21/10/2017 | |
Large parking area at top of road near church. Stepped over fence, across fairways to secluded trig. Then to alternative HP, slight rise by silver birches on golf course on other side of road. | Aye Jimmy | 09/10/2017 |
ijpowell | 07/09/2017 | |
Crossed several fairways to trig just in area of rhodedendrons. Area near trig looks higher so stomped around a little. | clivevilla | 12/08/2017 |
A pleasant wander through the woods. Stumbled upon the Trig. | summitter | 29/07/2017 |

The path leading towards the trig point starts at the bend in the road - below the church carpark. The trig point is close to the path and near the fence - no need to cross the golf course. | JohnW | 14/05/2017 |
Parked at church, followed by short walk across golf course to trig. | Ramblingpaul | 08/05/2017 |
