Picture Stories - Watership Down 2011
During spring 2011 I was in England and also visited a place, that I wanted to
see for a really long time. It was Watership Down, from the same called
novel by Richard Adams. It is located in Hampshire in the south of England.
A very beautiful landscape as you can see on the picture on the left. This
is the view from Hare Warren Down though, which was actually the blueprint
of the location of the Watership Down warren in the movie, or the TV series.
The real Watership Down is located on the next western hill.
I stayed one night in Kingsclere, a small village roughly half a hour
away from Canon Heath, which leads to Watership Down. Unfortunately, I didn't
had the time to see all the different locations, mentioned in the novel and
the movie. But I saved these one for the next trip. As you can see on the
images, I had the typical English weather, from sunny warm and clear to
pouring chilly rain showers. On the other hand this weather was good to make
some unusual snapshots. Pictures with sunny weather everyone has. ;)
