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. | Buck | 12/04/2023 |
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! | henryfm | 05/03/2023 |
Parked in Chart Lane for an interesting circuit of Tower Hill, Hope Mausoleum and The Terrace. Good views and info boards. | PGCE | 22/11/2020 |
Dorking Circular between the rains | PhilipChaston | 15/11/2020 |
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. | lerritt | 06/03/2020 |
From Tower Hill along FPs, nice little hill with good path up. | PeterD | 09/07/2019 |
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. | Sixtyplus | 07/05/2019 |
44km bagging loop around the Mole Valley in good conditions. | atreides7887 | 09/02/2019 |
Tucked the car in by the gate to The Terrace at the end of Deepdene Wood. | DC11main | 07/10/2018 |
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. | pwheeler | 12/09/2017 |
An evening round of Bury Hill, Tower Hill and The Terrace. Much better than expected. | rhalstead | 01/04/2017 |
Nice spot. From turning point at the end of the private road. | squeegs | 26/03/2017 |
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. | RichardM | 21/12/2016 |
Bike up private road and over top and down to golf course on other side | trimarc2 | 03/11/2016 |
Pleasant walk up passing so expensive looking houses to the ridge of the Terrace & passing the site of an 18th folly. | DanMaisieBex | 24/09/2016 |
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 Jackson | 29/08/2016 |
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/ | garyhoney | 13/08/2016 |

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. | jonglew | 29/12/2015 |
Walked from Deepdene station in Dorking. First hill of a three hill walk. | steverd | 28/09/2015 |
After getting the train to Deepdene, walked South and took a left onto the private roads and onto the Terrace Park. | Dragonzilla | 28/09/2015 |
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 Pearson | 06/01/2015 |
Parked (just) at end of road to NE by a track gate then a flat few hundred metres. | destaylor | 16/10/2014 |
Dorking to Westcott. | Smudge | 15/11/2013 |
Bench at ridge end; bank to NE is lower. Path/steps up from W, parking at start, in entrance. | RHW | 08/04/2012 |
