The Grange at Northington

Tucked away in the countryside just north of Alresford is the splendid mansion, The Grange. Resembling a Greek temple and in a picturesque riverside setting, the building is cared for by English Heritage. Visitors are free to come and explore the exterior of the building and can then complete our circular walk.

Tilford & Waverley Abbey

Waverley Abbey was the first Cistercian monastery in Britain. The ruins are now free to roam around and can be combined with this gentle walk to the attractive village of Tilford, with a pub on its village green.

Bishop’s Waltham

Start this walk with an exploration of the palace grounds and you will find there is still plenty remaining of this once grand residence. The walk then heads along a disused railway, across farmland and back to the town’s pond.
