Zebon Copse

This unique little walk packs so much into a small space. There is a copse with bluebells and wildflowers, a boardwalk over a mire, a toddlers play area, an amazing trim trail for older children and a bridge that takes you out onto the Basingstoke Canal.

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.

What’s new?

  • The restored Wey & Arun Canal was just as beautiful as we remembered when we re-visited this walk. This time we popped in for lunch at the Onslow Arms in Loxwood too.

  • We went back to Fishlake Meadows on the edge of Romsey to enjoy the wildlife in this wetland nature reserve. We have added some new photos to update the walk.

  • An evening walk at The Trundle was finished off perfectly by trying out the new Friday and Saturday night pizzas on the hill.

  • This walk at Cheriton has been updated; it now takes you even closer to the front of Hinton Ampner house.

  • Our route around Ashford Hangers and Steep is now even longer with many more sights such as a waterfall, play area and stream.

  • 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!
