132kV electricity lines passing beneath 400kV ones

The pylon in the foreground carries power at 400kV between the national grid substations at Nursling and Fleet. The smaller pylons crossing beneath it carry power at 132kV between Fleet and the SSE 132/33kV substation at Fernhurst. To cross over the 400kV lines the 132kV lines both dip down and split, one circuit passing south of the big pylon and one passing north of it.

St. Leonard's is the only building of the village proper left, a field to the north is mapped as site of the old village, but nothing obvious is to be seen.
