What’s new?

  • The heather is looking incredible right now on our revamped walk on Weaver’s Down near Liphook

  • We were pleased to discover all the paths were open again on the Otter Trail beside the Itchen Navigation. We even discovered a miniature steam train kids can ride at weekends just off the route!

  • We have added an extension to this walk at Chichester Marina to include Birdham Pool and a stop at the Scuttlebutt Cafe (see members area for a 10% discount)

  • We have added a longer alternative to this route at Chilworth Gunpowder Mills that starts from the hill top church, St. Martha’s. We have also added a special discount for our members at the riverside pub, The Percy Arms.

  • Some new photos have been added to this gorgeous walk beside the Basingstoke Canal at Winchfield and Dogmersfield. I love how the bridge frames this one!

  • The New Forest Reptile Centre has just opened again for the summer holidays, which also means children can venture into the forest on the Discovery Trail.
