A Former Estuary 


At the heart of Titchfiel Haven is the River Meon.This  starts its life as a chalk stream beneath the chalk downs four miles West of Petersfield and provides  perfect conditions for the plantlife in its flanking water meadows.  
The nature reserve extends inland almost to Titchfield with  a footpath following the canals course  to the village. 
This footpath is shown in white in the map. 
The river now flows into the sea through one way sluices into Hillhead harbour.
