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.

Greenham Common is a thriving open space full of yellow gorse and shallow pools. There are signs all over the common of its previous life as an RAF base and its controversial role it played in the Cold War.

The city walls of what was once Calleva Atrebatum are remarkably well preserved, and on this free-to-enter walk around the circumference, you will clearly be able to see the Roman fortifications as well as one of the best preserved amphitheatres in England.

From the top of the South Downs near Old Winchester Hill, the water of Whitewool Pond glistens in the valley below. Follow the path down to the farm and find a cosy rustic café, fishery, yurts and shepherds huts.

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.
