Flood meadows is an absolute gem on the edge of Alton. Close to its source, the River Wey flows through this recreational space where dogs and children can splash, picnic and see the ducks. Our route then explores the surrounding countryside and farmland with a stop at two play areas.

A longer walk, that packs in an awful lot. Starting from a beautiful country pub, the walk follows Hazeley Heath towards Hartley Wintney. You will find views of historic houses, quiet ponds, a woodland play area and remnants of WW2 tank training.

Kimbridge Barn is a destination tea room and café on the River Test near Romsey. You can combine your visit with this walk that crosses the river via the pretty village of Mottisfont.

From the natural play area at the bottom, take the easy climb up the wooded slopes of Chinthurst Hill and find a folly and gorgeous views.

This short and easy walk allows families to explore the Iron Age hillfort of The Trundle. You can enjoy fantastic views across the landscape as far as the English Channel and directly over Goodwood Race Course. As an optional extra, you can follow our route down to Singleton where you will find a pub and play area.

End this loop around The Basingstoke Canal with a stop at The Exchequer pub. There are streams to cross, bridges to go under and some interesting WW2 defences to investigate.
