Wheatham Hill


At, Wheatham Hill is one of the highest hills in the county of Hampshire, England. It is part of the North Hampshire Downs.
Much of the hill is covered in mixed forest and there is a trig point at 244 metres, which is also the site of Cobbett's View. According to a nearby information panel:
Until 2010 this viewpoint had been lost for many years under recent tree growth. Yet an old trig point remained to indicate that the view had once been visible for OS maps to be surveyed. And so Countryside Rangers felled these trees to reveal the spectacular views that Cobbett so much admired.
There is a minor track over the summit. It is located in a Special Area of Conservation known as the East Hampshire Hangers.
On the southeastern spur of the hill in the woods is a tumulus, evidence of prehistoric settlement in the area.
Stoner Hill is a subsidiary summit of Wheatham Hill.
