Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey West Sussex
Selhurst Park
A pretty patch of pink poppies is intersected by the footpath on this walk through the countryside near Chichester. To get the kids excited, you can easily add on a trip to The Milk Hut and their self-service milkshake vending machine!
South Gorley
Meet the animals at Hockey’s Farm Shop & Café, a family run business in the New Forest, before embarking on a circular walk across the heath with views over Chibden Bottom.
Holybourne
Holybourne is an attractive village on the outskirts of Alton. There is a great play area, family-friendly pub, duckpond and a host of farm animals visible from the paths.
Slindon Estate
With over 25 miles of public rights of way, there is so much to explore at this National Trust managed estate. There are different types of woodland, shady lanes, grassland, farms and interesting remnants of the estate’s grand history.
Chilton Candover
The Yard is a destination café in the heart of the Candover Valley. There is the Moon Roast coffee roastery, a Bon and Rose Gelato hatch, a sauna, a play area, a poetry trail and even a buried church. Our route takes in some of the surrounding farmland with views of the valley, as well as a small section of woodland.
Sky Park Farm
A gentle walk from Petersfield town along the River Rother will bring you to Sky Park Farm where you can enjoy the resident deer from the footpath or pay to enter and experience more of what the farm has to offer families.
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.
