On the edge of Liphook, this little green space has a mixture of woodland and water meadows, and The River Wey running through the centre. There are multiple opportunities for children and dogs to dip their toes in the water for a paddle. Just across the road is the Bramshott and Liphook Recreation Play Area with a brand new kid’s scooter track.
The Route
The walk is very easy to follow as there is really only one path that loops around the park. Leave the car park down the path on your right (with back to entrance). You will soon walk over the first little stream. Continue along the path, ignoring a left turn. Pass other glimpses of the water until you reach a point where the path begins to curve left.
After the path heads left, you will cross a new section of boardwalk. At the end of the board walk you will come to the river, which you should cross and then veer right.
Proceed until the path begins to bend left at an information board. The path now cuts along the top side of the park with the river flowing down to the left. There are a couple of well placed benches.
At the steps, head downwards, turn right and then go straight on at the cross path, passing the pond to your left.
Walking closer to the river now, continue until you reach the wooden footbridge. Cross the bridge then turn left and return to the car park across the open grass. This will be the trickiest part for pushchairs/wheelchairs.
To get to Bramshott and Liphook Recreation Ground, walk up the entrance of the car park onto Malthouse Meadows. Turn left and continue walking around until you reach an entrance into the park on your right. There are two sections of play equipment with something to suit all ages. To find the scooter track, walk behind the bowls club/Three Frogs Nursery.

Did you know?
Radford Park was formed in 1983. The space had formerly been used as landfill after the construction of a nearby housing estate. The derelict area was transformed and over the following years more land was purchased to form this valuable green space for the public to enjoy and wildlife to thrive in.
We are passionate about keeping The Ambling Path as a free resource available to everyone, forever. If you have enjoyed using our walking guides, then please consider leaving us a donation. This will help to cover our costs as well as rewarding the considerable time and effort needed to maintain the site. Thank you.
