| As it on a imaginary boundary, it is not always highest point in vicinity. Appears to be along FP | PeterD | 08/12/2015 |
| Lovely sunny Autumn afternoon. Wandered around the main contenders for the high spot with an OS map - the junction of the church and Dry Street; the footpath south of the water tower and in the country park west of Westley Hall. | Southend Bagger | 25/10/2015 |
| There is a car park at the South end of the footpath over the top. Quite a pleasant hill for Thurrock. | simon and co | 14/04/2015 |
| Langdon means ‘Long Hill’. The Country Park sits on a 385ft high crescent shaped hilly ridge, giving panoramic views over the Thames Estuary and across to London. 5 rangers help to maintain the park and act as visitor guides however as at Feb 2015 Thurrock council's proposal is to have one ranger and an apprentice to save £100,000. I did a short loop taking in both tops. The tall beacon was full of wood and ready to be lit - seems early if for the 70th anniversary of VE day in May as still 2 month away? | Chris Pearson | 26/02/2015 |
| Boundary bank behind water tower; alternative (TQ 67927 86540) is N side of road at car park which is a good spot to access | RHW | 25/01/2015 |
