An interesting 6 mile circular walk form Goring to Cray's Pond and back taking in a variety of terrain.
Free parking can be found on a quiet street in Cleeve with the footpath accessible at the far end.
Elvendon Priory can bee seen as well as Flint House.
A lovely 5.9 mile circular walk around Studland Heath with fantastic views over Poole and Bournemouth.
The route visits the Agglestone Rock, a sandstone block of about 400 tonnes weight, perched on a conical hill. Legend has it that the devil threw the rock from The Needles on the Isle of Wight with the intention of hitting either Corfe Castle, Bindon Abbey or Salisbury Cathedral."Aggle" was taken into the old Dorset dialect as meaning "to wobble".*
A very pleasant 3.7 mile walk around the hamlet of Idsworth.
We found road side parking near St Huberts Chapel, a Mediaeval church in the middle of the adjacent field.
The route follows the valley and returns through Markwells Wood.
A short but interesting 2.7 mile walk around Sulham Wood. A good steep climb is followed by fields on the plateau before walking through some quite strange woodland (not sure I'd want to wild camp here..) before heading back on the eastern flanks of the hill. Geocaching route, but worth taking the dogs round or as a post Sunday lunch amble.
A pleasant 4.1 mile circular walk to the South of Dockenfield. Free, roadside parking can be found in Dockenfield itself with the route starting next to a small playing field.
The route covers a mixture of terrain inclduing feidls, woodland, a stream with a ford (and a bridge) as well as a short section of quiet country back-road.
It is mildly hilly but nothing too strenuous.
A hilly 5.6 mile walk to the South of Winchester. It may look quite close to the M3 motorway but feels far removed.
We parked by the church and walked the loop anti clockwise. There are geocaches on this route.
A welcome pint can be had in the Dolphin Pub afterwards
A short walk around and into the Devils Punch Bowl on Hindhead Common. There a numerous walks here of varying length and the whole area is well worth an explore.
This walk begins at the National Trust car park where there's a tea room and toilets if required. The old footpath used to run along the top of the hill above the busy A3 but that all changed in 2011 when the HIndhead Tunnel was opened and the old road ripped up and returned to nature.
A great 4.5 mile circular walk, on the flat, around Keyhaven Marshes and nature reserve.
Parkign in the pay & display car park, the footpath starts straight away and leads of following a small tributary. It soon turns to a well packed gravel track that circles behind the marshes and inland, passing the entrance to the local waste centre as well as a campsite before eventually popping out in Lower Pennington and The Chequers Inn, a nice 16th Century village pub and restauarant.
A good 4.6 mile circular walk over varied terrain. We parked on the main track into Shitterton. From ther ethe footpath starts around 100 yeards away.
Shitterton was name over 1,00 years ago and literally means 'farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer'. Luckily, it isn't used for that purpose nowadays.
The walk climbs up a gorse lines path to Black Hill adn form there, follows the ridge west to Piddle Wood (we really couldn't make this up), on the Jubilee trail.
