Hollington Park, located in Hampshire, England, is a picturesque area that encompasses both downs and moorland landscapes. Spread over a vast expanse, the park offers visitors a diverse range of natural beauty and outdoor activities.

The downs area of Hollington Park is characterized by rolling hills covered in lush, green grass. These hills provide stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making it a popular spot for hikers, picnickers, and nature enthusiasts. The downs also serve as a habitat for various plant and animal species, including wildflowers, butterflies, and birds.

In contrast, the moorland section of Hollington Park offers a different experience altogether. Here, visitors can explore vast expanses of open moorland, characterized by heather, gorse, and bracken. This unique landscape provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, deer, and small mammals. The moorland is also home to several walking trails, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the peaceful and untouched surroundings.

Hollington Park is well-maintained and offers facilities such as parking, picnic areas, and public footpaths for easy access. The park is open to the public year-round, welcoming visitors of all ages to enjoy the tranquil beauty and explore the diverse landscapes. Whether one is seeking a peaceful walk, a family outing, or a chance to connect with nature, Hollington Park in Hampshire provides an idyllic setting for all to enjoy.

In Highclere Wood Within the Highclere Estate, Highclere Wood is mainly conifers but quite thinly planted. This area of the wood is called Ivyhouse Copse on 1:25K map, but is bigger than expected for a copse. There is a footpath through.

Footpath to Highclere estate As the footpath leaves the A343 there is immediately a diversion round woodland. The path runs parallel to the southern edge of the wood in a very soggy pasture. The trees in the background are also part of Highclere Wood within the square.

Houses in Highclere The first three gables, and six ground floor windows all belong to the same property, For Sale. The properties have all had their front doors blocked up and the houses "turned round" to face a courtyard behind. (Note this is not a sales pitch, just what I saw when walking past!)

Highclere Wood This section is called Ivyhouse Copse on the 1:25K map, but it is more extensive than that. There is a stiffish climb up from the open pasture behind, although it looks flat here!

The Natural Garden Well advertised with lots of brown signs approaching it, it all seems a bit unfinished when you arrive, and as the sign says "land restoration" continues.
