Horsebridge & King’s Somborne

Starting in Horsebridge near the old station, this walk makes its way to the larger village of King’s Somborne. The route will take you straight through the recreation ground, with a kid’s play area, to the church and pub. The homeward stretch rises over the countryside before descending towards the meadows of the River Test with a ford where children can paddle.
