From Ashley Hill following Chiltern Way through Warren Row. Higher ground within reservoir compound on Hatchgate Lane 50m NE of Bowsey Manor entrance, but most likely man made. Went for high point 5m from lane along SE reservoir boundary.mntainman05/07/2020

Parked in Warren row and used the Chiltern way up through a lovely wood returned the same way and then continued onto Ashley hill. Two and half miles in an hour a great walk.WAYNE ROWLETT28/06/2020

From Warren Row by footpath. After a very wet December bridleways in the Chilterns did not appeal. In fact, the route running along the ridge was an old road still with its hard surface so I returned E along it and took the first fp L back to Warren Row. Lovely sunny light through the bare trees- and some views on this 50min walk on a day too good to miss. The obvious walk is to combine with Ashley Hill but I wasn't thinking about Tumps back when I bagged that Hump.pwheeler23/12/2019
Walked both Bowsey Hill and Ashley Hill as part of circular walk. Fairly easy walk even in the mud and rain.jarmin4515/12/2019

2nd Tump of 4 today and continuing from my Wargrave island exploration up on nice paths including Chiltern Way (Berkshire loop). Road further on appears as high as pointed out by other baggers. Continuing for Ashley Hill from the South. Wokingham U/a completion.Dazingdale21/08/2019

On own. From Warren Row up paths through deciduous woods to summit next to fence of covered reservoir compound. There is a 9' high wire fence on the other side of road as a new housing development seems to have been started.Beeliner22/03/2019

Delightful autumn woodland. From Warren Row.Barbara Singer16/11/2017
Gorgeous autumn colours. A golden brown carpet through the beech trees from Warren Row. One could try a sneaky drive up the road from the north but you would miss a delightful forest stroll.Campbell Singer16/11/2017

Wargrave - Bowsey Hill - Ashley Hill - Fultness Wood Hill - Marlow. Lots of woodland and a relative lack of good views but a decent walk.Mark Jackson17/07/2017
