Chawton Park Woods
Follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen and take a stroll through Chawton Park Wood to find bluebells and if you’re lucky, a deer or two.
Sky Park Farm
A gentle walk from Petersfield town along the River Rother will bring you to Sky Park Farm where you can enjoy the resident deer from the footpath or pay to enter and experience more of what the farm has to offer families.
Bolderwood Deer Sanctury
Follow the Radnor Trail through varied woodland from ancient deciduous to Norway spruce to Bratley Water where children can splash in the stream. The walk ends at a viewing platform, where if you are lucky, you will see a herd of fallow deer. A great choice for the autumn.
Eyeworth Pond
Eyeworth pond was created in 1871 to supply water to a nearby gunpowder factory, but these days it is a good spot for a picnic and to spot birds atop the lily pad covered water.
Petworth Park
A truly splendid 700-acre park with a landscape designed by Capability Brown. Bring a picnic and explore the multiple pathways, lake, ancient trees and herds of fallow deer.
