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.gerrybowes21/06/2023
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.cjwilliams30/07/2022

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.mntainman20/06/2020

Sunny walk after parking at Butterfield Green to bag Whitehill then walked out to Warden Hill.Dugswell225/02/2019
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...Dazingdale12/01/2019

Whitehill and Warden Hill from Butterfield GreenFred Windsor04/04/2017
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 Pearson01/06/2016
Parked at fork. As with all HPs on a county boundary, higher ground a few feet away may exist. A quick wander makes sure.PeterD21/03/2016
Parked at fork in road and wandered around a bit. Farm entrance seemed a bit higher than the car parking area. Nothing interesting.jonglew13/01/2016

Not one of the most difficult. Stepped out of the car to bag it.bolton19/08/2015
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.Zioman07/06/2015
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.RHW14/12/2014

Done this County Top many times! This was the day we logged a geocache nearby.darradog30/09/2012
From A505, up lane to Whitehill farm. Wandered up lane from parking next to farm gates. Unremarkable and higher ground over the county boundary!nordicstar11/07/2012
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.chinnock10/03/2012
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.garyhoney30/07/2011
Nice spot, edge of the farm drive I reckon.simon and co15/03/2011
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.BURGESS26/02/2011

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 Ted10/04/2009
Just in front of the farm. Tried TL 06795 21155 and got wetter than on a mountain as didn't have any waterproofs!destaylor02/11/2008
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!kaapiovuohi23/08/2008
A "drive by" but a much more interesting trig is nearby on the horizon.signyred08/07/2008
Walked over from the sports fields to a dull fork in the road, made a walk of it by visiting the nearby trig.rhalstead26/08/2007
