Kingsclere, Hampshire

A hilly 5.7 mile circular route with the possibility of extensions. We parked in the public car park at the viewpoint at the top of the hill.

The walk has some great views and drops down to the village of Kingsclere, where you'll find a choice of pubs and a couple of shops, before following the gallops, back across the flood meadows before climbing up the renowned Watership Down and circling round back to the car park.

You can quite often see paragliders circling above you during the walk. You'll notice that there's two minor wrong turns. Ignore these.

Upper Froyle, Hampshire

A 5 mile circular walk from Upper Froyle, taking in the former Lord Mayor Treloar College (now looking like being developed).

The route crosses the busy A31 twice so care should be taken with children or dogs. It also crosses the railway.

The nearby Hen and Chicken Pub on the A31 has some good beers on offer and a carvery every day (correct 2014).

Hursley, Hampshire

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
