Duck's Hill is a small hill located in the county of Middlesex, England. Situated in the southwestern part of the county, it lies approximately 14 miles northwest of central London. Despite its name, Duck's Hill is not actually a hill or mountain by most definitions, but rather a gentle slope that forms part of the undulating landscape of the area.

The hill is surrounded by picturesque countryside, characterized by rolling fields and scattered woodlands. It offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, with glimpses of nearby villages and the city skyline in the distance. Duck's Hill is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, who often come to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of the area.

The hill is named after the nearby Duck's Hill Farm, a historic agricultural establishment that has been in operation for centuries. The farm, known for its dairy products and arable crops, is an integral part of the local community and contributes to the rural charm of the area.

Duck's Hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including several species of birds, butterflies, and small mammals. The surrounding countryside provides habitats for these creatures, making it an ideal location for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Overall, Duck's Hill offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling urban environment of London. Its gentle slopes, picturesque views, and natural surroundings make it a perfect destination for those seeking a brief escape into the beauty of the Middlesex countryside.

Bridleway through coppiced hornbeams, Copse Wood, Ruislip Looking west, with the A4180 road at the end of the track. These are mixed deciduous woods which have had oak trees for timber  and hornbeams growing under them to keep the oaks straight. The hornbeams are coppiced about every 20 years to supply small timber and poles. The woods are a National Nature Reserve, managed by the London Borough of Hillingdon.
