Parked down hill at graveyard pull ln. Strolled up road to topBramley17/11/2017
Scrub Hill, Bell Hill, Stamfords Hill from London using the same railway line. Easily the best of the three. Good views S over estuary from all along the road. Walked up from Althorne station.Mark Jackson10/07/2017
Not as easy as other entrants as I walked from Althorne train station. Last few yards are along a busy road with no pavement so slipped through hedge and walked along field edge. Afterwards walked from Althorne to Burnham along the estuary raised bank which was the best part of the triptrimarc231/03/2017
I did get out of the car for this drive by TUMP.Dugswell201/09/2016
On the road at entrance to Grange Farm. Trig pillar more interesting.jonglew31/07/2016
Parked by converted Water tower as currently unoccupied and convenient pull in point. Then Walked along road, difficult to ascertain exact point. But if you walk to Grange farm and back you will have covered it. No reel path at side of road. 9am Sunday morning and although less traffic than a weekday still busy and all moving quickly so care is needed.One man Bucket 26/06/2016
Summit moat around Tyle Hall. Nearby tall circular water tower is being converted into a house -Grand Design style. The busy summit road leads to Burnham on Sea - a London commuter town thanks to the direct rail link with the distant city. The railway was saved from the Beeching cuts in the 60s as it continues out to Bradwell nuclear power station -which is being taken on by the Chinese.Chris Pearson18/05/2016
Roadside bag with Pete Doyle.Dangerous Dave16/01/2016
There is a small pull in just to the west.destaylor08/01/2016
Done in dark, 50mph road sign helped.PeterD08/12/2015
Walked up from 20m contour line near latchingdon, up road then left onto very dangerous B road with loads of lorries on way to and from Burnham on Crouch, to stand on all possible highest points. Drove back to Hyde hall gardens where I had left my wife and daughter, where walking was much more pleasant!!pdantic06/08/2015
If really dedicated you can pull up alongside the summit just to stand on it ...... otherwise a drive by.moorsman08/07/2015
Grange Hill Farm entrance by 50 mph road sign.Brodie08/04/2015
Roadside.Adrian22/03/2015
I was still driving uphill when passed the 1:50k spot height: the 1:25k spot height further E by farm entrance is summit, probably N verge although field S side of road fairly similar, as is old mound in moat (mapped) in garden N side of road. Also revisited nearby Stamford Hill trig pillar for a few photos, which it has to be said is a much nicer spot.RHW15/02/2015
