Hill Head
From Free net encyclopedia
Hill Head is a quiet residential area on the coast of the Solent. It is located south of Stubbington, West of Lee-on-the-Solent and South East of Titchfield in Fareham, Hampshire. Hill Head has a shingle beach, with fishing, sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing being the most popular pastimes upon its shores. There is also a small harbour, located where the River Meon enters the Solent.
It is a sleepy community, with a substantially senior population, reflecting it's coastal nature and relaxed vibe.
During WW2, Hill Head was one of many loading zones for the D-Day invasions, and the area was inundated with allied troops. Along the coast here there are still many reminders of the war time activities, including remnants of fortifications.
