There are quite a few parks on our website, but this one is really special. It has ample parking, a brilliant play area, a little section of riverside boardwalk and best of all, a place where children can safely access the shallow water of the River Dever via steps and a small pontoon.

Wootton Bridge car park is situated beside a wide, shallow section of Avon Water where children can play in the river and picnic on the banks. Our suggested walk then loops you through the woodland of Wootton Coppice Inclosure and Brownhill Inclosure where you will almost certainly spot ponies grazing in the shade of the trees.

The cosy Barley Mow sits in the quiet South Downs village of Walderton with the River Ems running through its garden. It is the perfect starting point for a number of excellent walks including this one that passes Watergate House and has views as far as Chichester Harbour.

Midhurst is a historic market town at the heart of the South Downs National Park. It is surrounded by some great estates and this walk connects two - Cowdray and Woolbeding - via paths along the River Rother.

Cheriton has featured in some of our walks before. We keep being drawn back to the clear waters of the Itchen, the pretty thatched cottages, the hidden park and the plethora of footpaths. This time, we walked over peaceful lanes and fields to Holden Farm, where just off the South Downs Way, you will find the perfect setting for enjoying refreshments.

Horsell Common has a mixture of landscapes, all of which can be explored on this walk. You will find yourself crossing rivers, wetlands, meadows, woodland and sandy heath. The walk starts and finishes at Heather Farm Cafe which overlooks the wetlands. Children will love playing at the huge natural sandpit half-way around.
