East Meon

With some of the most glorious views we have seen in Hampshire, this walk would be treat enough in its own right. But when you add on refreshments from the destination café and bar that is The Dell, it becomes a absolute showstopper!

Chantries

The Chantries or Chantry Wood, is a well known place to enjoy bluebells in Surrey and it isn’t hard to see why. The display here is breath-taking. Added to this, the elevated position of the wood means there is an option to take in viewpoints giving vistas across the Surrey Hills.

Zig-Zag Path

What better way to climb the hill up to Selborne Common than via the zig-zag path that naturalist Gilbert White cut into the hillside over 200 years ago? Once you have enjoyed the views from above, make your way back down the beech hanger and enjoy refreshments from the pub at the bottom.

Danebury Hill Fort

Standing high above the surrounding countryside, Danebury Iron Age Hill Fort is a site of national importance in terms of archaeology and nature conservation. The spectacular downland setting and the ancient ring of ramparts makes this a very special place to walk around.

Our Collections

What’s new?

  • If you fancy making a walk at Bosham in the Chichester Harbour National Landscape longer and even more fun, we have now included details on how to catch the little ferry across the channel to Itchenor.

  • This walk still has all the features that you loved including the mill over the river, Amy’s duck food table and Arlebury Park, but it now has a new version where you can start at this park beside a stream.

  • This walk at Bramdean Common used to be a simple potter in the trees, but following a recent update, it is now a great country walk with woodland, views and the little hidden church.

  • This walk starts from one of Hampshire’s most popular rural cafes, The Yard. We recently visited to try out their new play trail.

  • Our popular walk at Prinsted in Chichester Harbour now has a longer option starting in Emsworth. Twice as long, but with twice the things to see!

  • This walk at Dunsfold has undergone some changes to make it one continuous loop from the village centre. It is a long one, but includes so much from a brilliant play area to a pub by the village green.
