Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey West Sussex
Itchen Navigation
This linear route explores the section of the Itchen way between Allbrook and Bishopstoke. The water is in view to your side throughout the whole walk and it is easy to spot wildlife in the clear water. The recreation ground in Bishopstoke provided a sensible turning back point, after a play at the little park.
Nether Wallop
West of Stockbridge, three charming villages are strung together by the Wallop Brook. Our walk starts in Nether Wallop and loops around Middle and Over Wallop. Nether Wallop holds the biggest attractions for children, which include a delightful riverside picnic area and an outstanding park
Rowlands Castle and Stansted Forest
In 2023, a new playground was completed in Rowlands Castle. Using this as a starting point, if you walk over the splendid village green, passing pubs and a café, you will find yourself in a forest where long grassy rides frame views of Stansted House.
Hayling Billy Trail
The Hayling Billy Trail is a former railway track that used to bring tourists down to holiday by the sea. Nowadays the route provides a brilliantly flat multi-use path for walkers and cyclists along the entire western shore of the island.
Emsworth to Westbourne
There is plenty of appeal along this easy route along the River Ems from the busy harbour town of Emsworth with its picturesque mill pond, to the pretty village of Westbourne and Brook Meadow Nature Reserve.
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.
