Walbury Hill
Walbury Hill is a hill in Berkshire, England. It is located in the southwest of the county, close to the borders with Hampshire and Wiltshire, and around southeast of the town of Hungerford. At above sea level, it is the highest hill in Berkshire and the highest natural point in South East England (West Berkshire being a constituent part of this region), just higher than Leith Hill in Surrey.
On the hill's summit is the Iron Age hill fort of Walbury Camp. Combe Gibbet stands on the adjoining Gallows Down.
The true summit is marked by a triangulation pillar approximately from the main Test Way. Walbury Hill is sometimes used by the BBC as a temporary relay station during major sporting events. There is no metalled road across the hill, but the byway is open to all traffic and maintained with a hard gravel surface, probably because of its use by outside broadcast vehicles. The ridged summit is also popular with paragliding enthusiasts.
Walbury Hill is the starting point for both the Test Way and the Wayfarers Walk.
There is also a small low-level circular brick building, approximately 6 feet (1.8 metres) high, on the south side of the hill. This appears to be a disused reservoir.
