The name of the estate built on the hill of the same name. Parts were begun in the late 1930s but the vast majority was not completed until the early 1970s. In the foreground is the former tidal inlet that once connected Bishopstone to the sea whilst between that and the houses a long flint wall is visible a relic from the time Bishopstone Road was little more than a drive to Bishopstone Place. Taken about half an hour after sunrise.
