Birkitt Hill is a prominent natural landform located in the county of Hertfordshire, England, known for its picturesque landscape and its significant geological and historical importance. Rising to an elevation of approximately 240 meters (787 feet), it is considered one of the highest points in the region.

Situated near the village of Chorleywood, Birkitt Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby Chiltern Hills and the lush valleys that stretch towards the horizon. The hill's summit can be easily accessed by foot, providing visitors with an ideal vantage point to admire the natural beauty of the area.

From a geological perspective, Birkitt Hill is primarily composed of chalk, a sedimentary rock formed from the remains of microscopic marine organisms. This chalk formation is characteristic of the Chiltern Hills area and contributes to the region's unique landscape.

In addition to its geological significance, Birkitt Hill also holds historical value. The hill is home to several ancient burial mounds dating back to the Neolithic period, indicating human activity in the area for thousands of years. These burial mounds serve as a testament to the long-standing presence of human civilization in Hertfordshire.

Overall, Birkitt Hill in Hertfordshire offers both natural beauty and historical intrigue. Its elevation, geological composition, and cultural heritage make it an attractive destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and history buffs alike.

School Lane, Little Offley It was a very busy Sunday afternoon considering, with lots of walkers out for the nice weather in proper gear. They were all parked up along the road (and quite a few nearby) changing by the roadside.
