This former gravel extraction site has been landfilled and landscaped. It forms the southern part of Hornchurch Country Park. Its main feature is the hill that gives it its name, from the top of which there are good views across London and the Thames to the South Downs and where a mountain bike course has been constructed. The site is 74ha in size.

Hornchurch Country Park is on the former site of Hornchurch Airfield, in the London Borough of Havering.
The River Ingrebourne passes through the park and if forms part of Thames Chase Community Forest. The London Outer Orbital Path runs through the park. The most popular part of the park is to the west of the Ingrebourne, where the ground is flat and paved; this area is most commonly frequented by dog walkers. The woodland to the east of the river is somewhat inaccessible. Some southern parts of the park that reach into Rainham have been used as landfill.
There are a number of pillboxes and other items dating from the Second World War to be found in the park
