On the north-eastern flank is Coombe Hill, not to be confused with another Coombe Hill 4 kilometres to the south-west. Haddington Hill is owned by the Forestry Commission, whose Wendover Woods cover much of the hill. Many tracks run through the forest, and a car park is located near the summit among the trees: the flat summit means the precise location of the highest point is difficult to determine with certainty. However, in the woods to the east of the car park there are a series of large stones bearing the inscription 'The Chiltern Summit'. The stones are surrounded by trees. AscentsThe peak is accessible by road, with a car park near the stone. It is also possible to climb on foot. Pavis WoodThe highest point of Hertfordshire, at {{convert|244|m}}, is on the eastern ridge of this hill, on the boundary with Buckinghamshire. See also
