Chapel Hill is one of the many peaks in this area, standing at an elevation of around 285 meters (935 feet) above sea level.

The hill gets its name from a small chapel that once stood on its slopes, although no traces of it remain today.

Church Road signpost The junction points visitors to Maunsel House - a very old house with a history pre-dating the Norman Conquest. The signpost appears to be shedding several layers of paint and one arm look suspiciously new. Incidentally, 'Maunsel' is derived from the French meaning ‘Sleeve of Land’.
