St Catherines Hill Fort
There Are A Few Routes Up St Catherine’S Hill, Which All Start And End At A Convenient Car Park. Once At The Summit, The Walk Can Be Extended To Include The East Side Of The Hill. The Hill Has Been In Use For 3000 Years And The Summit With The Miz-Maze, The Ruined Norman Chapel Buried Under The Beech Trees, And The Deep Iron Age Ramparts, Affords Perhaps The Best View Of Winchester, The Cathedral And St Cross Church, From This Side Of The Valley.
