Best Answer

From the top of the ridge, Harold could see all the land before him that William was going to approach from. Additionally, the land around the ridge, through which William's men must march, was wet, marshy land in some parts and rocky and bumpy in other parts. That would slow down William's horsemounted soldiers, and the equipment that his army was pulling with them.
