Old Winchester Hill, Iron Age hill fort in South Downs National Park, England.
The summit reaches 197 meters above sea level and provides views toward Portsmouth, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight on clear days.
The site contains Bronze Age burial mounds from 2100-750 BCE and an Iron Age fort, later serving as a British Army mortar testing range.
Natural England manages this 66-hectare national nature reserve, protecting rare chalk grassland species and maintaining archaeological features for public education.
Visitors can access multiple walking routes from the northern car park, including the South Downs Way and circular paths across the slopes.
The chalk grassland supports populations of Adonis blue, chalkhill blue, and common blue butterflies, alongside several orchid species.
