St Catherine's Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

This wonderful lookout point is the site of an Iron Age hillfort as well as a thriving nature reserve. The summit stands 230 feet (70 m) above the River Itchen and you can access it by steps or a more gradual path. A gorgeous clump of beech trees surround the summit.

The hill lies within (although barely) the South Downs National Park and is a well-maintained area of tradition downland. Summer brings rare butterflies, insects and an abundance of birds to the hill. The views of Winchester are exceptional from the northern side.

Hazeley Down War Memorial

Highlight • Monument

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials – usually called “war memorials” in English – are still very important today. “Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said...” says the so-called “Hymn of Simeon” (Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “dead soldiers’ memorial” is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously most common “war memorial”.

However, such a war memorial, which one encounters so often on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony to the horror of war and tyranny – still significant and current today. They all have two essential functions, and this is renewed for each generation:

-1- Commemorate and remember the victims

-2- Remind people to keep the peace
