Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey Sussex
Witley Common
Witley Common comprises a variety of landscapes from sunny, sandy heathland to green, wooded glades. A walk here is an absolute joy for all ages, and it is made all the more enticing by the rustic wooden play features found near the start of the trail.
Houghton Bridge and The River Arun
Follow the gentle meanders of The River Arun around pretty Sussex villages with chalk escarpments, rolling farmland and downland ridges as a backdrop. Complete the walk with refreshments at the riverside pub or tearooms or a visit to Amberley musuem.
Itchen Valley Country Park
A new play trail has arrived at Itchen Valley Country Park, adding to the already excellent play facilities. Enjoy the new wooden, nature themed structures as well as walks through woodland, wildflower meadows and water meadows.
Zig-Zag Path
What better way to climb the hill up to Selborne Common than via the zig-zag path that naturalist Gilbert White cut into the hillside over 200 years ago? Once you have enjoyed the views from above, make your way back down the beech hanger and enjoy refreshments from the pub at the bottom.
Wickham Water Meadows
The River Meon, which children and dogs can access at the water meadows, flows through the large village of Wickham. Our walk follows a section of the Meon Valley Trail and passes by this popular spot.
Whitchurch
Whitchurch sits on the crystal clear waters of the River Test and this walk criss-crosses over the river passing historic mills and pretty stone bridges.
Every Ambling Path walk has a stand out feature that children will love including magnificent play areas, shallow rivers for paddling, epic country parks and ancient ruins to explore.
Covering two national parks and two national landscapes, our detailed guides have all the information you need to get the whole family out walking right away.
