this could be totally wrong because i have nt read the book in like 10 years, but I think I remember it being a place in the book!. Either where they are trying to get, trying to leave, or that horrible place with the fascist rabbits!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wasn't that their main hangout!? You know, down as in a synonym for 'field' or meadow, and Watership happened to be the name of it!?

I can't remember, it was a long time since I read it!. And it was utterly weird!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
