Radford Park

This tiny country park on the edge of Liphook is a valuable habitat for local wildlife. It comprises a small area of woodland and water meadow and The River Wey makes its journey through the centre. Families enjoy coming here to walk the dog and dip their toes in the shallow waters.

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.

What’s new?

  • Buckler’s Hard invited us down to try out the boat tour and museum as additions to a walk to Beaulieu. The girls loved the boat ride and we even saw two seals!

  • New wooden scupltures have arrived at Catherington Lith Nature Reserve. See our route guide to find out where they are all hiding.

  • Early morning was the perfect time to check in on the bluebells at Nore Wood. They were even better than we remembered.

  • The bluebells at Stoke Wood near Chichester are at full bloom and looking as gorgeous as ever

  • The blossom in the churchyard at Boxgrove was looking outstanding when we passed through on the Windmill Trail

  • This walk at Thursley Common has always been a popular one, but now we have made it even better with directions on how to reach a pub and play area.
