St Catherine's Hill

I can't remember the last time I did a landscape.

This is the view across to St Catherine's Hill. It is a small but dramatic chalk hill to the south east of Winchester. Rising steeply from the water meadows of the River Itchen, the summit of the hill provides a fine view over Winchester. The hill is owned by Winchester College and largely managed as a nature reserve by the Hampshire Wildlife Trust.

The top of the hill is ringed by the ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort, that is a scheduled ancient monument. The copse of beech trees at the top of the hill contains the site of the 12th Century chapel of St. Catherine.
