Morgan's Hill, Protected natural area near Calne, England.

Morgan's Hill spans 31 acres of chalk grassland, supporting multiple plant species including upright brome, horseshoe vetch, and autumn gentian on its slopes.

In 1913, the site became home to a Marconi Imperial Wireless Chain receiving station, which monitored German Zeppelin positions during World War I.

The location functions as an educational center where researchers and students examine the geological formations and study local ecosystems throughout the year.

Visitors can access the walking trails throughout the protected area while following specific guidelines to preserve the natural environment and sensitive plant species.

The hill marks a hydrological triple divide point where rainfall splits into three directions: the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean, and North Sea.
