The Viewpoint

A place at the top of Box Hill to look out across the countryside. There is a large pay to view Telescope there. You are better off taking a pair of binoculars. Many years ago I was standing at the Viewpoint and it started snowing. Huge snowflakes gently floating down. No wind, no noise. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Never had a camera at that time.
