I was digging through my footage library the other day when i came across some video of hangliders and paragliders i had filmed whilst on Butser Hill, Hampshire. Butser Hill is a great place to see the rural landscape of Hampshire, with wide ranging views over the Meon Valley and beyond.
It is also a perfect site for sports such as hangliding and paragliding as the updraughts created by Butser Hill give perfect conditions to ride the air as the people in the video show. There is a large car park at the top where you can sit and watch the world go by, or take yourself off for an invigorating walk along the chalk escarpments that make up part of the South Downs Way, or even walk down the hill to the Queen Elizabeth Country Park for a cup of tea in the cafe. But be warned... it's a long walk back to the top.
I come here quite often in all sorts of weather and time of year, the landscape is forever changing through the seasons and the views can be quite spectacular on a good sunny day.
