Riverside Park in Southampton marks the point where the Itchen Navigation reaches a tidal estuary on its way to the sea. Flat, surfaced paths guide you along the river where you will find play areas and even a miniature railway along the way.

The Canal Centre at Mytchett is an excellent place to explore The Basingstoke Canal. You will find plenty here to entertain the whole family including this easy walk around the tow path.

Stansted Park stands in 1800 acres of parkland and forest with miles of footpaths and bridleways to explore. This guide gives you three family friendly walks to chose from that can all be combined with a visit to the house and other attractions.

Do you dare try this walk to the ‘most haunted’ location in West Sussex? Watch out for flying bricks, phantom tractors and apparitions appearing at windows! You will receive a far warmer welcome, however, at the end of this walk from the attractions at Stansted Park.
