Hiking

‘Harnham Chalk Pit’ as it is marked on maps, is a long-abandoned chalk quarry that has been taken back by nature. Several different levels accessed with paths that scramble up the quarry sides. I imagine they will be lethal after recent rainfall! Loads of butterflies and wildflowers seen today (August). Unfortunately litter appears to be an issue here, not excessive but noticeable. It baffles me why anyone leaves rubbish indiscriminately in locations like this. Great distant view of Salisbury Cathedral from upper levels.
