Group A - Natural Features
Nature Reserve	Hook Nature Reserve. The area is centred around the Hook Lake and its valley and extends along the shoreline from the pier at Warsash to Solent Breeze Caravan Site; also included are the intertidal areas and marshland of Bunny Meadows, over 500 acres in all. Part of the reserve is the former parkland of Hook Park. The reserve encloses various habitats ranging through shingle, saltmarsh, grassland, reedbeds, freshwater marsh and woodland. These habitats support a wide variety of flora and fauna. The area is well served by a good network of footpaths and is very popular with walkers and birdwatchers.			SU 490 061 0708 70
Country Park	Chilling and Brownwich Farms. The County Council has provided an area for the quiet enjoyment of the coast, with facilities for walking, picnicking and horse-riding. The area includes Chilling Copse and Brownwich Pond.			SU 519 038 0708 77
Garden	Newton Road, The Salterns. The garden was laid out in the early part of this century when Sir Warden Chilcott owned the house. It contains some mature trees and shrubs particularly rhododendrons and azaleas; the ground slopes towards the river. The brick wall at the bottom of the garden is possibly part of the old chemical works on the shore.			SU 499 051 0708 69
