Easy parking by fork in road; shame about the litter. Wandered across to the ground in front of the house gates & the highest ground at the start of the Whitehill Farm access track. | gerrybowes | 21/06/2023 |
Drove up past the leisure centre, parked by the fork in the road, wandered up to the top (a good 30 seconds), ticked it off. | cjwilliams | 30/07/2022 |
From Warden Hill car park via Telegraph Hill. | Wheelsy | 16/07/2021 |
Last of 3 UACs on lockdown day trip on way home to Suffolk after visiting The Slip and Bow Brickhill. 
Turned out to be a drive up. 
Drove to end of Butterfield Green Road parking on concrete hard-standing. Got out of car and wandered around including sharpe bend in Chiltern Way. | mntainman | 20/06/2020 |
Circular walk from Lilley via Warden Hill & Deacon Hill | jedthehumanoid | 22/05/2020 |

6 of 6 on 26 mile bike ride. not much to say. Straight ride past | The-Z-Man | 31/07/2019 |
On own. Drive up, out of car, walk around fork in road, done. | Beeliner | 22/03/2019 |
Not much to say for this one, there is plenty of parking though so you can have a good look round if you need too. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 09/03/2019 |
Sunny walk after parking at Butterfield Green to bag Whitehill then walked out to Warden Hill. | Dugswell2 | 25/02/2019 |
4th 'top' of 5 today on a route from Langford to Luton climbing Toplers hill, Meppershall Hill and Telegraph hill then fp SE to follow fp South along Lilley Hoo, cutting across Sw into Lilley then re-joining the Chiltern Way with a brief detour to bag the boundary on the farm track. Onwards to Warden hill in diminishing light... | Dazingdale | 12/01/2019 |
Solo. Went on a nice walk to Warden Hill afterwards. | Dangerous Dave | 17/02/2018 |
Drive, park, get out and get back in except I did Warden Hill as well. | Campbell Singer | 22/11/2017 |
As clivevilla, park at fork, walked to Warden Hill. Lost lady asked me 'Are you a local?' Horror of horrors! She spoke like Lorraine Chase (Luton Airport) too! | Aye Jimmy | 12/11/2017 |
Parked by the fork and then walked to Warden Hill. | clivevilla | 12/08/2017 |

After Warden hill, easiest of strolls on broad bridleways | KC | 14/05/2017 |
Whitehill and Warden Hill from Butterfield Green | Fred Windsor | 04/04/2017 |
The 2 houses here are technically just outside Luton's boundary and yet their wheelie bins are stamped as belonging to Luton (and collected by them) and kept by the owners at their drive end which is just inside the Luton boundary. I wonder who they pay their council tax to? Can it be Luton if they are outside their boundary, all be it by only 20 metres? | Chris Pearson | 01/06/2016 |
Parked at fork. As with all HPs on a county boundary, higher ground a few feet away may exist. A quick wander makes sure. | PeterD | 21/03/2016 |
Parked at fork in road and wandered around a bit. Farm entrance seemed a bit higher than the car parking area. Nothing interesting. | jonglew | 13/01/2016 |
6/8 Sixth one on Bad weather day so county tops bagging for the day, (Park Lane/Ashley Hill/Bowsey Hill/East Burnham Park/Pavis Wood/Whitehill/Bow Brickhill/The Slipe) | Fergalh | 24/10/2015 |
By bike from Luton Station. | trimarc2 | 23/09/2015 |
With Telegraph Hill & Warden Hill. | ngthack | 24/08/2015 |
Not one of the most difficult. Stepped out of the car to bag it. | bolton | 19/08/2015 |
Started from Riddy Lane Trail, went to Common Farm and took the Oosey Hill sunken lane. You can take the left from the summit to get to Warden Hill. | Zioman | 07/06/2015 |
Visited the famous car park, also the top of M1 cutting, TL 06792 21172, with a good path from NE thru scrub continuing SE beside M1 to make a loop. On 1:10k appears to be c.176m i.e. not quite a twin top. Interesting the two contenders are opposite edges of Luton. | RHW | 14/12/2014 |
Drive by 14.30. | arranc | 15/08/2014 |
Got out of the car for a photograph. | Newton Maximus | 02/05/2014 |
Proper lazy on this one . Drove straight onto summit an stepped out of car . | Haygalzer | 16/04/2014 |
Probably parked on the top! | ProSpec | 02/06/2013 |
On long trail run from home. The top is in a great area but uninteresting itself. | dc96 | 06/05/2013 |
Went to Harry Potter Land and as this was close to where we were... | steverd | 11/11/2012 |
Done this County Top many times! This was the day we logged a geocache nearby. | darradog | 30/09/2012 |
From A505, up lane to Whitehill farm. Wandered up lane from parking next to farm gates. Unremarkable and higher ground over the county boundary! | nordicstar | 11/07/2012 |
Unaware of its ascent during a Barton-le-Clay to Luton walk 
The farm tracks descending from Warden Hill this point was passed without acknowledgement. | chinnock | 10/03/2012 |
Parked just before the top in a very convenient space. Walked around for a minute or two to ascertain the correct bump\blade of grass. | garyhoney | 30/07/2011 |
Nice spot, edge of the farm drive I reckon. | simon and co | 15/03/2011 |
WANDERING AROUND AT DUSK I WAS ASKED BY A COUPLE WHAT I WAS DOING. THEY WERE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT THEY LIVED BY THE HIGHEST POINT IN LUTON AND EVEN MORE SURPRISED THAT ANYONE SHOULD WANT TO GO THERE. | BURGESS | 26/02/2011 |
2/10 for this one easy but nothing to see.... | heavyhorses | 13/10/2010 |
Quick dash from the cemetary with Andy. Middle part of three top trip round Bedfordshire. | Overthehilljill | 25/10/2009 |
boring but easy to get to! | mr bounce | 28/08/2009 |
just a quick stroll outside the car, nothing very interesting. | asbown | 03/06/2009 |
Not the best views. | The Team | 04/05/2009 |
Baged on our way to catch a flight a Luton Airport. The family thought that it was a new cheap car park I had found. | Father Ted | 10/04/2009 |
Just in front of the farm. Tried TL 06795 21155 and got wetter than on a mountain as didn't have any waterproofs! | destaylor | 02/11/2008 |
Thought this would be rubbish, but the interesting building on the lane and fun of walking round to find the _exact_ highest point made it not too unbearable! | kaapiovuohi | 23/08/2008 |
A "drive by" but a much more interesting trig is nearby on the horizon. | signyred | 08/07/2008 |
Walked over from the sports fields to a dull fork in the road, made a walk of it by visiting the nearby trig. | rhalstead | 26/08/2007 |
