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.

This walk along The River Wey Navigation packs in an awful lot. The romantic remains of Newark Priory, an Elizabethan summer house, a riverside pub and plenty of locks, weirs and bridges.

This coastal walk connects two of the most picture postcard harbours in Hampshire. With options for pubs along the way and plenty of opportunities for seashore explorations, this is a delightful family walk.

The New Forest’s largest freshwater pond is a magnet for animals and birds and is one of the most wildlife rich bodies of water in lowland England. This walk crosses the heathland, purple in late summer, to reach it.

There aren’t many walks we do that I actually think are better in the winter, but this could be one. During the colder months especially, this habitat is home to an internationally important population of wading birds and wildfowl. And all just a hop across the water from the city of Portsmouth.
