What’s new?

  • This walk at Bramdean Common used to be a simple potter in the trees, but following a recent update, it is now a great country walk with woodland, views and the little hidden church.

  • This walk starts from one of Hampshire’s most popular rural cafes, The Yard. We recently visited to try out their new play trail.

  • Our popular walk at Prinsted in Chichester Harbour now has a longer option starting in Emsworth. Twice as long, but with twice the things to see!

  • This walk at Dunsfold has undergone some changes to make it one continuous loop from the village centre. It is a long one, but includes so much from a brilliant play area to a pub by the village green.

  • Our Norbury Park page has had an overhaul with two routes to now choose from, a wild garlic route or a bluebell route and both stop at woodland cafe, Wild! About Coffee, where kids can toast marshmallows.

  • It was a welcome relief to go back to Wildhams Wood in West Sussex and see that the woodland had recovered from recent forestry work. The bluebells and wild garlic are blooming.
