Yew Hill Nature Reserve
Silkstead Lane
Yew Hill, Hampshire | Butterfly Conservation
This chalk hill-top has stunning views and is a popular walking spot. It is easily accessible from Winchester, and has great populations of downland wildflowers and butterflies. Features The reserve is traversed by a bridleway flanked by an ancient hedgerow. Together with a grove of trees to the south and by the reservoir bank, this helps shelter the areas of chalk grassland on this open hilltop. Crossing the reserve is a modern track; parallel to it runs a series of wide ditches, which are thought to be tracks of medieval origin.
