Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey Sussex
Compton Down
We were really excited to visit Hampshire Pantry after it opened and a quick study of the map showed us that we could walk directly to the farm by starting at the superb play area at Oliver’s Battery and hiking over Compton Down with lovely views.
Broadwater Park & The Godalming Navigation
Broadwater Park has plenty to keep families with a play area, ducks to feed, a lake to walk around and waffles to try. But just across the road is The Godalming Navigation, which makes a walk here even more interesting as you can watch the barges traverse the locks.
Holybourne
Holybourne is an attractive village on the outskirts of Alton. There is a great play area, family-friendly pub, duckpond and a network of paths in the surrounding fields.
Southwater Country Park
Cripplegate Lake is at the centre of Southwater Country Park near Horsham. It has a paddling beach and a Dinosaur Island adventure play area.
Elsted and Wild Combe Camping
A small and peaceful south downs village, a traditional country pub, far-reaching views and an off grid campsite. This corner of West Sussex near Midhurst is an absolute gem!
St. Martha’s Hill
With a commanding hillside position accessed only by footpaths, St Martha’s Church is a perfect place to pause and picnic. Our guide has a host of interesting extensions you can add to you visit.
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.
