St Mary’s church is, as its appearance suggests, Norman (12th century) in origin and is a building of significant historical interest. There has been a church on the site for over 1000 years, the present church being built on the site of a former Saxon minster.

Much of the present building dates from a major rebuilding in the 19th century.

There are many interesting features including its unusual weather vane which is affectionately known locally as The Bedbug. Legend has it that its design was determined by King John, who on one occasion being prevented from reaching his hunting lodge on Cottington Hill by fog had to spend a night in the local inn where his night was badly disturbed by bedbugs!

The church is open every day for visitors, for those wanting a quiet place to sit and think and for those wishing to pray.

The quiet lanes over the top of Watership Down - fairly unkept and gnarly roads in places but easily suited to a road bike - some lovely views on a sunny day and plenty of wildlife!

Watership Down Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a steep climb through picturesque countryside peaking at about a 16% incline, but you can take a break at the top and explore Watership Down if you fancy a little walk and a break taking in the scenery from this high viewpoint.

As steep as it is going up, it is going down....enjoy!
