Parked by hairpin bend then walked back up road to its HP and into woods. Plenty of fallen trees and flat top. Used GR to find top. Also didn’t help that it was 45 mins after sunset. | PeterD | 15/11/2023 |

Parking area beside hairpin bend at TQ 0129 2209 - Headed up over high point of road & shortly after bend headed SW into copse for about 40m to the summit grid reference. (S) | gerrybowes | 14/04/2021 |
Parked in the car park near the Mens and used the bridleway through Hawkhurst Court to ascend. Trudged around the trees at the flat top in heavy rain before visiting the nearby trig. Descended the same way. | garyhoney | 14/11/2020 |

On the bike from Billingshurst station after work. Wandered around south of the crest in the road until I spotted the tree in the photo, but the top could have been anywhere in that area. | Richard | 05/08/2020 |
32km around Hesworth. | atreides7887 | 21/06/2020 |
Persuaded my daughter to come for a walk and find a derelict church in the woods. Walked in the woods to the high point after enjoying a wander around the old church. | Buck | 27/10/2019 |
Wooded spot. High point on bank beside road. | Pete West | 15/01/2019 |

In primeval -feeling deciduous forest with many fallen mossy trees. HP not obvious on flattish tree and bramble strewn top but we thought it by an oak. Orange tinged skies after sunny springlike day. Nearby but lower trig felt more like the proper top! | Denise | 18/01/2018 |
Large level summit in messy woodland. Easy access. | RichardM | 18/01/2018 |
same round as Mark Jackson except I took 40 mins longer. | trimarc2 | 24/10/2017 |
5hr circuit from Pulborough station: Park Mound, Fittleworth Common, Hesworth Common, Bedham Hill, Toat Hill, Broomershill | Mark Jackson | 29/08/2017 |
Parked on Crimbourne Lane and walked across via Hawkhurst Court (take the RH fork through the property): a very pleasant walk if somewhat damp underfoot followed by a walk around summit area and a loop back. Accompanied by Rosalie who was a muddy but happy canine at the end. | JOHNS | 29/07/2017 |
Bagged Flexham Park trig to the west where all the mature trees have been harvested before Bedham Hill HuMP summit in woods. | Dugswell2 | 08/09/2016 |
Just a forgettable wooded summit off Wakestone Lane (Bedham) as a bag, but a interesting walk if The Mens is included. I started at the small WT car pk off Crimbourne Lane (about 024236). 4 miles, route finding needed, sunny. | pwheeler | 26/05/2016 |
Very short walk to woodland summit. | RobertP | 14/12/2015 |
3/5 Third of five on wet day (Reigat Hill/Littleton Downs/Bedham Hill/Kithurst Hill/Crowborough Hill) | Fergalh | 12/12/2015 |
Up and down on bridleway. | rhalstead | 18/10/2015 |
From bend in road. | jimbloomer | 10/01/2015 |
Grey murky calm morning,leafless trees,nothing stirring. 10 years since I last stopped off here,but I only visited the trig then thinking that was the top. History of Magna Carta on radio. | Chris Pearson | 05/01/2015 |
Gibbet Hill, Black Down, Telegraph Hill, Bedham Hill and Leith Hill on way to London. Gibbet and Leith are both very good for South East. | simon and co | 07/09/2014 |
From Crimbourne Farm | squeegs | 29/06/2014 |
From hairpin bend, visited trig also. | Chris Peart | 28/06/2014 |
Saw a pair of long-tailed tits in the woods. More interesting than the top but it was my last Hump for area 42. | clivevilla | 01/03/2014 |
P at sharp bend. The copse is pretty flat. | chrisbien | 24/04/2013 |
Light rain as I walked through trees to a trig at 151m. HuMP top on the lane above where I had left the car. No views trees. 8.30. | arranc | 28/02/2013 |
A walk into the woods from the road to the north. Nothing much to see. | Biffin | 27/05/2012 |
unremarkable, will easily be forgotten. | JohnStoneham | 26/02/2012 |
Parked in a good space by a hairpin bend on the narrow road to Bedham 5-bar gate opposite leads to trig in trees (good job leafless or would be difficult to see). Not very inspiring hill.Best was autumn colours along the road. | David Rawden | 15/11/2011 |
Des mentions top under a fallen tree. Which one? Actually quite enjoyed this one whilst it lasted. Not a mile wide track to it. | Martin R | 21/08/2011 |
Both the Trig point and the Summitt are hard to find up here though you get less scratched finding the Trig point. Simialr experience to Des, lots of fallen trees and high point near one of them. | Father Ted | 03/09/2010 |
Parking not bad. Bird reserve and forest being allowed (by the look of it) to look after itself. Easy climbing over fallen trees and bits and pieces. Summit could be anywhere - GPS gave under a fallen tree! | destaylor | 09/02/2009 |
With: solo; Drove past and parked off minor road to locate high point. | Ian Baines | 08/01/2006 |
