Watership Down is a hill in the Hampshire Downs. It is best known as the setting for Richard Adams' 1972 novel about rabbits, ‘Watership Down’. The hill, which has a partially-completed Iron Age hill fort on its summit, affords far-reaching views.

St Mary's Church, Kingsclere

Highlight • Historical Site

St Mary’s church is, as its appearance suggests, Norman (12th century) in origin and is a building of significant historical interest. There has been a church on the site for over 1000 years, the present church being built on the site of a former Saxon minster.

Much of the present building dates from a major rebuilding in the 19th century.

There are many interesting features including its unusual weather vane which is affectionately known locally as The Bedbug. Legend has it that its design was determined by King John, who on one occasion being prevented from reaching his hunting lodge on Cottington Hill by fog had to spend a night in the local inn where his night was badly disturbed by bedbugs!

The church is open every day for visitors, for those wanting a quiet place to sit and think and for those wishing to pray.
