The question was, “What’s your favourite place in the world ?”
This may not actually be my favourite place in the world but Butser Hill is the one that is currently the most accessible to me.
On a clear day you can see for miles. This view can be, with a little walking, be almost 360 degree. To the north is Petersfield. To the west is the Meon Valley “little switzerland”. To the south is The Solent, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and The Spinnaker Tower. To the east are the forests of Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
On a good day it is almost silent in the sense that you cannot hear any traffic. Just the sound of the insects, birds and the farm animals far below you. Occasionally you may be surrounded by the sheep that are loosed to graze the hillside.
Its a good place to contemplate your navel or any other item that may be bothering you or just to let your eyes relax and stare off into the distance, put your mind into neutral and think about nothing at all.
Just let nature work her magic.
