Queen Elizabeth Country Park - Butser Hill

Today we have been for a lovely long walk over Butser Hill, near Petersfield, which is part of the South Downs Way. It has been a beautiful, warm sunny day here and we have walked for miles!!

Hannah spent a lot of the walk collecting sheeps wool from the trees, hedges and fences, which we are going to attempt to wash and spin, and she also found some hazel nuts which had survived the winter uneaten.

The views from the top of Butser were amazing, so we stopped for a picnic and enjoyed the sounds of bird song.
