What’s new?

  • 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.

  • This paddling and pub walk at Fishbourne Meadows got a route revamp to take out some of the muddier fields.
