Haddington Hill (also called Wendover Hill[http://www.thehardys.org/uploads/2/3/7/5/2375589/hardys_3rd_edition_pre-pdf_b.pdf The Hardys – The UK’s High Points] at www.thehardys.org. Accessed on 15 Mar 2013.) is a hill in The Chilterns within the parish of Halton, and the highest point in the English county of Buckinghamshire. On the north-eastern flank is Coombe Hill, not to be confused with another Coombe Hill {{convert|4|km}} 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.

Ascents

The peak is accessible by road, with a car park near the stone. It is also possible to climb on foot.
