Zebon Copse

This unique little walk packs so much into a small space. There is a copse with bluebells and wildflowers, a boardwalk over a mire, a toddlers play area, an amazing trim trail for older children and a bridge that takes you out onto the Basingstoke Canal.

Chantries

The Chantries or Chantry Wood, is a well known place to enjoy bluebells in Surrey and it isn’t hard to see why. The display here is breath-taking. Added to this, the elevated position of the wood means there is an option to take in viewpoints giving vistas across the Surrey Hills.

What’s new?

  • The views from The Trundle in West Sussex are the best in the county. We have added more to this route by providing details of how to walk to Singleton with a very family friendly pub.

  • We joined Bird Aware Solent for a guided birdwatching walk at Warsash Shore. This was such a brilliant way for us to learn about the birds we spot on our walks as well as what steps walkers can take to care for them.

  • A spot of golden winter sun and salty sea air was just what was needed one Sunday afternoon when we headed down to Hayling Island to revise our walk at Sinah Beach.

  • It was a rather chilly day to be updating this New Forest walk near Burley, but we got some lovely photos of the frozen Whitten Ponds. This walk has pushchair and bike friendly options.

  • We couldn’t turn down the offer to try a roast dinner at The Exchequer, near Hook. Find the family and god friendly pub on one of our Basingstoke canal walks.
