Peartree Green Local Nature Reserve

Peartree Green Local Nature Reserve

Peartree Green is an open space on high ground on the east bank of the River Itchen in Southampton, in the ceremonial county of Hampshire, England. A 16th/17th century building, Peartree House, still stands, though is today concealed by private housing. The house and the green take their name from a pear tree that grew near the parish church. Some of the original open space has been built on, but a large proportion remains as a recreational area. It contains a church and two former schools. It overlooks the River Itchen to St Mary's Church in Southampton.
