Old Winchester Hill

Old Winchester Hill is described as "Owned and managed by English Nature"
They manage it with some fairly draconian restrictions including banning
picknicking on the embankment.

Must be a fragile environment, easily susceptible to erosion.

Well, that's what it says on the signs put up by English Nature, along
with signs suggesting that as it was used by the Army for mortars and
the suchlike during the First World War, the chances of stepping on an
unexploded shell are extremely good, so stay on the upper paths (the
warning is based on people accidentally discovering the said ordinance).
Can't have helped the erosion much.
