Parked to NW at church. Easy track, dry at the moment. Visited several likely highpoints.PGCE08/04/2021
Started the ascent from Stone Street before taking the Bridleway from the school to the HP. Easier walking was found on the quarry side of the fence - much less mud.garyhoney22/11/2020
Parked at the school. Pleasant path through woods. Crash helmet advisable as I was bombarded with falling nuts. Good viewpoint from the quarry rim.Campbell Singer17/10/2020

Up BW from SE. Steep but not extreme by a long shot. HP on edge of old quarryPeterD05/06/2017
Parked in Stone Street,then up self-proclaimed steep bridleway on damp,misty morning.Visited both contenders for high spot.catman10/12/2016
'Caution Bridelway Open Extreme Gradient' so reads the sign from the east, and steep it was, then above quarry to high point on bank. The quarry supplied ragstone (a hard grey limestone) for nearby Ightham Mote (pronounced 'Item Mote') a 14th C medieval moated half timbered house. Kentish Ragstone has been the most utilised hard rock within Kent over the last 1000 years and is commonly seen throughout the county, particularly in houses, walls and churches e.g Leeds Castle.Chris Pearson25/03/2015
Edge of disused quarry: 2 highpoint contenders close together. Easy access from NW, muddy in Feb, with parking at startRHW22/02/2015
Parked OK ish at 579546. Bridleway. Pleasant.destaylor10/03/2014
Knole Pk- Ightham Mote via GW then the long bw to this top, Stone St church and Seal Chart before return via Godden Green. Good walk, but decided I prefer the Greensand in winter when the bare trees mean better views. This is very wooded much of the way.pwheeler26/08/2006
