Ashley Hill stands as the highest point in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, reaching an elevation of 145 m. It lies within the grounds of a private house, marked only by a green Chiltern Way footpath sign—an OS trig pillar is inaccessible due to hedging .
Explored in December 2020 by Richard Gower, the hill forms part of regional walking routes, including:
- the Chiltern Way Berkshire Loop
- the Hurley & Ashley Hill Circuit
- the Littlewick Green and Knowl Hill circular walk .
Gower’s write‑up details the terrain: park at Littlewick Green, follow paths via Burchett’s Green Lane and the Berkshire College of Agriculture, then cross Honey Lane into open fields leading to Ashley Hill summit. No public trig pillar view is available—only the footpath marker signals the top .
- The full circular walk spans about 9.9 km with an elevation gain of ±135 m.
- Facilities include pubs like The Cricketers and The Crown at start and finish points .
