Queen Elizabeth Country Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen Elizabeth Country Park is a large country park situated on the South Downs in southern England. It is located on the A3 road three miles south of Petersfield, Hampshire.
The park contains 1400 acres (6 km²) of open access woodland and downland within the East Hampshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Butser Hill, the highest point on the South Downs. Several Long-distance footpaths run through the park including Staunton Way, Hangers Way and the South Downs Way bridleway. The park also contains Mountain biking tracks. On a clear day the Isle of Wight can be seen from the top of Butser Hill.
Every July the Queen Elizabeth Country Park also acts as the start point for Oxfam's biggest annual fundraising event, Trailwalker UK
