Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey West Sussex
Tall Trees Trail
Walk under the tallest trees in the New Forest on this easy to follow forestry trail. At the end, play in the steam, take a picnic or grab and ice-cream from the van.
Bedham
When we arrived on a misty autumn morning, it was easy to see why some people consider these woods to be enchanted. The sight of an abandoned church hidden in the trees was definitely an eerie sight, but as the sun broke through the mist we discovered miles of quiet woodland that is perfect for peaceful family walks.
Chidham Peninsula
A walk around the Chidham peninsula is well worth the effort due to its central position in The Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. But, if the full 8km walk is too much for your family, we have provided details of some shorter options that won’t compromise on the views.
Owslebury & Marwell
Forgive the photography, this little chap wouldn’t look the right way! But in this tree, you might be able to spot a red panda. This has to be the only footpath in the country where you have a good chance of spotting red pandas, rhinos and wallabies!
Knowle Park
Knowle Park is a small, but brand new community space in Cranleigh where you will find an adventure playground, ponds, snack kiosks, an amphitheatre, picnic areas and meadow.
Midhurst Common
Just a stone’s throw from the town centre, Midhurst common is a delightful place to explore with plenty of paths through woodland and sandy heath. Three ponds are home to an abundance of fish and are accessed by silver sandy dunes.
Every Ambling Path walk has a stand out feature that children will love including magnificent play areas, shallow rivers for paddling, epic country parks and ancient ruins to explore.
Covering two national parks and two national landscapes, our detailed guides have all the information you need to get the whole family out walking right away.
