Cheesefoot Head
On the downs above Winchester, the quirkily named Cheesefoot Head is an area of far reaching views with a network of paths including the South Downs Way. In the summer there are meadows of wildflowers and often fields of blue linseed.
West Dean Woods
Truly wild daffodils are becoming increasingly less common, so this flourishing patch is rather special. You can find it inside West Dean Woods, near Chichester.
Swanmore to St. Clair’s Meadow
A delightful country walk connecting Swanmore and Soberton with sections beside The River Meon and along The Meon Valley Trail.
The Trundle
This short and easy walk allows families to explore the ancient monument that is the Iron Age hillfort of The Trundle. At the same time you can enjoy fantastic views across the landscape as far as The English Channel and directly over Goodwood Race Course.
Warnford Snowdrops
This walk is a little different to all our others as you can only do it on four days of the year! Luckily, the carpets of snowdrops found at Warnford Park, in the Meon Valley, are well worth the wait
Old Winchester Hill
Overlooking the Meon Valley and not actually in Winchester, Old Winchester Hill is a National Nature Reserve with views across The South Downs as far as the Isle of Wight. The chalk grassland is covered in wild flowers and butterflies in summer and you stand a good chance of spotting birds of prey such as red kites.
