Really amazing views. Absolutely magical place to go early in the morning. Views in the summer would be amazing. Just been in March early morning after heavy rain and was easy going. Yes lots of area is private but this place should be on anybody's to do list. I wish it was a bit closer to my home as perfect place to go to clear the mind.
Used to live this area about 40 yrs ago
Remembered going for a walk up here.
On a tree someone had scratched “Bigwig woz ere”
Loved seeing all the places mentioned in the book ( much better than film )
Nice to visit if you’re a fan of the book but much of the hill is private land with just a footpath over the top. Means if you were planning to sit on the hill and have a picnic admiring the views then think again, it’s mostly fenced off either side of the path.
Watership Down/Kingsclere Downs (depends on what you call it). Beautiful area to go for a walk. The views on a clear day are amazing!
You can walk for miles up here and the views are always incredible!
Stunning! My Favourite place to go alone, just to sit and enjoy the peace, beauty and serenity. A very special place
Gorgeous walk route and absolutely stunning views, well kept grass lands and picturesque areas to stop and take in the view. However there’s an ongoing crime uprise in the on-site parking areas, do not leave any valuables in your car!
So peaceful and fantastic views
Love the book, love the original animation and love the real place.
