This is a gem of a walk starting out beside a beautiful old village church (and pub!) with access to The River Meon via a peaceful little nature reserve.

A gentle walk from Petersfield town along the River Rother will bring you to Sky Park Farm where you can enjoy the resident deer from the footpath or pay to enter and experience more of what the farm has to offer families.

Kingsley boasts a rather large and beautiful village pond that is hidden from the road. Beyond this is a sandy common dotted with gnarly oaks and coated in purple heather.

This was one of the very first walks that we included on The Ambling Path and despite having walked over 130 more family walks since, this remains a firm favourite due to the easy route and the opportunities to access the River Meon.

You will need to pay an entry fee for this truly unique walk which is an incredible way to get some exercise and also get the whole family enjoying and talking about art. The sculptures are placed throughout the trails and you will find ones to suit every taste.

This little nature reserve packs in an awful lot. We managed to spend a few hours here last winter, and in the summer we probably could have spent even more!
