Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey West Sussex
Meon Springs
From the top of the South Downs near Old Winchester Hill, the water of Whitewool Pond glistens in the valley below. Follow the path down to the farm and find a cosy rustic café, fishery, yurts and shepherds huts.
Banstead Wood
A walk at Banstead Woods is literally like stepping into Narnia. Children will find four sculptures themed around The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe inside the woodland as well as some home made swings, dens and an enchanting bench.
Lakeside Nature Reserve
This pocket sized nature reserve packs in one large and some smaller lakes, woodland, meadow and an adventure playground. The walk is short and incredibly easy to follow so makes a great option for small children.
Burton Mill Pond
Burton Mill Pond is a peaceful gem just south of Petworth. The historic pond has a series of viewing platforms and is twinned with Chingford Pond, which you will also pass on this walk. Varied woodland paths and reedbeds connect the two nature rich bodies of water.
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.
