The hill is largely treeless farmland. It is bounded to the west by B3143, and on the other three sides by a minor road passing through the hamlets of Rew, Sharnhill Green and Bookham, after which it is named. To the east, beyond the lane, a tributary of the River Lydden rises below the col separating the knoll from Church Hill, the western spur of Ball Hill. The Wessex Ridgeway runs from east to west along the ridge formed by Ball and Church Hills and about a kilometre south of Bookham Knoll.
