About the event

Come and join us for a guided walk this summer around the beautiful St Catherine's Hill. This site is a beautiful chalk downland hill offering fantastic views over Winchester. 

In the summer St Catherine's Hill comes alive with lots of amazing wildlife. We'll be keeping an ear open for the cackle of a woodpecker and keeping a look out for the buzzards and kestrels hunting in the valley below. 

We'll also be on the look out for some of the 25 species of breeding butterflies that call this nature reserve home - including chalk hill blue, brown argus, and marbled white. We might also spot some of the rarer orchids dotted across the hill’s slopes and meadows, including bee orchids, fragrant orchids, pyramidal orchids and autumn lady’s tresses.
