Parked in Dorking and completed a walk after the rain shower to The Terrace, Tower Hill and Bury hill. Back to Dorking for some soup before finishing the trip with a visit to Longmoor on the trip home. Good views all round.Buck12/04/2023
Parked in access point to nature trail at TQ170491 to NW of summit and up paths to summit area. Circular bench base identified as summit, not the POI which is around 15 m lower!henryfm05/03/2023
Parked in Chart Lane for an interesting circuit of Tower Hill, Hope Mausoleum and The Terrace. Good views and info boards.PGCE22/11/2020

Fourth and final tump of the day around Dorking. Lovely area with views of the golf course and surrounding hills. Ground in the more northerly 135m contour ring seems a little higher.lerritt06/03/2020
From Tower Hill along FPs, nice little hill with good path up.PeterD09/07/2019
Walked from Tower Hill. A second obvious and open top in one day. What is the world coming to! Good views south and lots of information boards. Went down into the gardens and had to come part way back up past the tower to find a way out.Sixtyplus07/05/2019
44km bagging loop around the Mole Valley in good conditions.atreides788709/02/2019
Tucked the car in by the gate to The Terrace at the end of Deepdene Wood.DC11main07/10/2018
Milton Heath-Bury Hill-Tower Hill-Deepdene Terrace-Cotmandene-Dorking-Denbies Hillside-Milton Heath walk. Dorking parks and parkland most of the way, still a very pleasant walk with plenty of interest. A leaflet of the new Deepdene trail(using some restored old, forgotten paths) is helpful and revealing.pwheeler12/09/2017
An evening round of Bury Hill, Tower Hill and The Terrace. Much better than expected.rhalstead01/04/2017
Nice spot. From turning point at the end of the private road.squeegs26/03/2017
Nice summit ridge and great views of the Mole valley. The round steel bench and nearby oaks would make a perfect summit but after several toings and frowings I was forced to conclude the Temple notice board on the ridge 100m to the NNE was slightly higher.RichardM21/12/2016
Bike up private road and over top and down to golf course on other sidetrimarc203/11/2016
Pleasant walk up passing so expensive looking houses to the ridge of the Terrace & passing the site of an 18th folly.DanMaisieBex24/09/2016
9 Tumps / 20 miles between Holmwood and Dorking stations: Leith, Holmbury, Pitch, Warren, Dunley, Longmoor, Bury, Tower, Terrace. Path goes right to top - bench on grassy bank with good views. Possible to descend through the Deepdene valley (remnants of landscaped country estate).Mark Jackson29/08/2016
Continued on from Tower Hill on the Greensand Way to reach this top. Interesting to see that the grounds of the old Deepdeene House have had a face lift and are no accessible via a new trail/garyhoney13/08/2016

Parked at end of what I took to be a private road to NE. Short distance to top. Agree with RHW, bank is lower. Top, in pleasant woodland, has circular seat.jonglew29/12/2015
Walked from Deepdene station in Dorking. First hill of a three hill walk.steverd28/09/2015
After getting the train to Deepdene, walked South and took a left onto the private roads and onto the Terrace Park.Dragonzilla28/09/2015
A surprising level open viewpoint (terrace) with seats and long views to the south above the trees. Info board on top explains that the terrace was created by Thomas Hope in 1808 -one of the richest men in England - who owned Deepdene Estate, whose gardens were later ruined by one of the first bypasses - skirting Dorking.Chris Pearson06/01/2015
Parked (just) at end of road to NE by a track gate then a flat few hundred metres.destaylor16/10/2014
