Chilcomb

Chilcomb is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Hampshire 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Winchester and includes the South Downs Way long-distance footpath.

The nearby bowl barrow on Telegraph Hill along the South Downs Way just east of the village centre shows prehistoric settlement.

Chilcomb lies within the heart of the Winchester anticline, an up-fold in the rocks with older beds exposed in the centre.

This is surrounded by outcrops of successively younger beds forming an enclosing ring of steep hills broken only by the Itchen Valley.

The range is used by British Army and Royal Navy units for personal weapon training in daylight and at night.
