With over 25 miles of public rights of way, there is so much to explore at this National Trust managed estate. There are different types of woodland, shady lanes, grassland, farms and interesting remnants of the estate’s grand history.

Kingley Vale, near Chichester, is one of the UK’s original national nature reserves with some of the oldest trees in the country. It is a truly atmospheric place to walk, and as well as the grove of ancient trees, you will also find spectacular views that stretch as far as the sea.

‘The abandoned medieval village of Hartley Mauditt’ is how this place is mysteriously described on the ordinance survey map. As the description suggests, there is not much left of the village other than the 12th century church, a pond and some delightful countryside to explore.

At the heart of this easy walk near Petersfield is the pick-your-own farm where strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are ripe for the picking in summer and pumpkins in autumn.

Starting out on the disused railway track of the Meon Line, this walk then circles round to the riverside village of Warnford where children can play and paddle at the rural park.

Harting Down is the largest area of ancient chalk downland that The National Trust cares for . Expect to find wildflowers and butterflies in summer and splendid views all year round.
