Douglas Adams lived not far from here and often walked in the surrounding area. The hill’s gentle slope and panoramic horizon have made it a beloved spot for reflection, conversation, and improbable thinking. Fans sometimes imagine it as a place where Adams might have looked out and thought about the smallness of the planet compared to the scope of the galaxy he’d later describe.
