Approached from north, uphill from turning off A4011. As road levelled, just beyond woods, pulled over at entrance to property on east side of road. Pillar visible in field to west. Over gate, directly to pillar. It is on the line of a footpath heading from north east to south west across the field, so straightforward access. Views to south, other directions blocked by trees. Spider plugged. Buckinghamshire county top at Haddington Hill about half a mile away to south west.

Bagged this trig on a circular walk to bag the county tops of Buckinghamshire (Wendover Woods) and Hertfordshire (Pavis Wood).

this trig would be better named as Aston Hill, as a road of this name climbs to within 300 metres of the trigpoint. By calling it Coombe Hill, it gets confused with another "Coombe Hill" on the other side of Wendover, which also has a trig on it, but that is named Monument Hill, because it has a monument on it, though it is known locally as Coombe Hill. At 260m, Coombe Hill trig is almost at the highest point in the Chilterns - this spot is at SP890092, 269m, about 1k to the south, and also marked with a small monument hidden in the depths of Wendover Woods.

Couldn't park very close as the public car park (on the map, at least) was closed off for some mountain bike thing and stroppy little 'jobsworth' on the gate wouldn't let me in. So I walked through the woods from the Forestry Commission car park in Wendover Woods. Actually, it was a very pleasant walk. The trig point is slap, bang in the middle of a field right on a public footpath. The field is surrounded by woodland that effectively blocks the view but it's nice enough. The centre plug is missing and the hole blocked with cement/resin/something else so I'll follow my usual method and mark it as 'slightly damaged'.

Didn't park in the lane and couldn't park in the car park opposite as the MTB brigade have taken over it. A fiver to park and only then if you're a bike rider! It takes bloody ages to get to the Wendover Woods car park, I should know as I've been there orienteering a couple of times. So I parked by the road further down and walked up. No views, condition unchanged.

Like Stonestreaker I was mainly here to visit the nearby Marilyn and County top but thought I would make a day of it so parked just off the main road to the west and came up though the woods then visited two other trigs, two County tops and a load of caches to make it a 7+ hour 20 mile walk which explains why I am tired today!

Was doing a Geocache "GCH8NB" and this was one of the clues, so an easy find on a nice peaceful morning.

Visited this one while doing nearby geocaches. It's in the middle of a field, right on a footpath. The view in all directions is limited by trees.

A very accessable TP with a great view of the gliders today. The previously mentioned paint has almost gone now thankfully. Generally in good condition by our ranking method.

In the middle of a sheep field, and the base surrounded by a moat of boggy mud. As mentioned by the Hedgehogs, the pillar appears to have been painted at some point with rust-coloured paint. The plate itself is very smooth and almost looks "polished" unlike most ones which go dirty and rough-looking. Cap has been permanently plugged, as photo of top shows. Overall I think this rates a "Condition: Good" rather than it's original "slightly damaged" log.

The moat of mud You can clearly see the footpath as it goes straight across the sheep field. Oh, and the mud. Did I mention the mud?
The cap I think this qualifies as a good condition pillar, and this pic of the cap, properly plugged is typical of the condition of the rest of the pillar.
