PeterParslow visited on 2nd Aug 2011 - their rating: Amb: 4 Access: 4 Most of the old psychiatric hospital is being dismantled, so there are lots of caution signs, but the footpath is still open. You can enter from the road to the north, and walk round the western side. Or enter through the subway under the Totton bypass, follow the path across a couple of fields.
Hillfort enclosing 5 acres. The two banks are about 4m high and on the west side there is a smaller bank between the main ones. The hillfort was landscaped as part of an ornamental garden in the 19th century and it is now home to (and gives its name to) the Tatchbury Mount psychiatric hospital.
