Commemorative hazel tree and plaque on Watership Down remembering Richard Adams, author of the book of that name, Hampshire, England, UK

---

To honour local writer Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, a childrens book about the lives of rabbits on the downs, a hazel tree was planted in 2013 on the real Watership Down. Hazel was chosen because one of the rabbit characters in the book was called Hazel. Watership Down is a hill near Kingsclere in Hampshire, England, UK. It is in the North Hampshire Downs. The long distance walking route called the Wayfarers Walk passes this tree.
