GREENWOOD
Nature and the neighbourhood
View from Wood Hill 2
There are gorgeous panoramic views of the village and surrounding countryside from the top of Wood Hill just to the south of Charlton Down in Dorset. This is the view from near the top of the slope looking east towards Charlton Higher Down, which I have managed to reach several times in the past pandemic year. It is the place marked by a Bronze Age barrow that I featured in an earlier post. There is also one hidden from view in a thicket of brambles in the field below the gate in this picture. When the burial sites were new and covered in white chalk over three thousand years ago, they must have really stood out in the landscape and been seen for miles around.

I can’t get over how beautiful your home area is.
Thank you, Claudia. I really appreciate what this place has to offer and I am glad that I chose to live here.
I’m glad you included a link to the barrow. I had somehow missed that the first time around. Fascinating! Of course we have no such things in Ohio. And I second what Claudia McGill says.
Thank you, Linda.
