Hambledon, known as the ‘Cradle of Cricket’, is a rural village packed full of attractive country homes and a popular tea room. Our walk loops around the perimeter of the village, taking you up onto the National Trust’s Speltham Down.

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.

Nestled in the Test Valley, Stockbridge is a charming little town with streets lined with independent shops and eateries. The clear waters of The Test, filtered through chalk, make their way through Common Marsh, which can be accessed directly from the high street.

With some of the most glorious views we have seen in Hampshire, this walk would be treat enough in its own right. But when you add on refreshments from the destination café and bar that is The Dell, it becomes a absolute showstopper!

The South Downs village of Greatham has just unveiled its brand new play area. It is an absolute treat for children and can be used as the launchpad for this countryside walk through woodland and open fields.

A walk along the Basingstoke canal never disappoints and this one has some bonus features such as a waterside pub, a ford to paddle in and the free to entre ruins of King John’s Castle.

Beginning at Meon shore this linear walk follows the canal on its way to the historic village of Titchfield. For much of the journey, Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve is clearly in view where you will spot a variety of wetland birds and hear their calls.

It is easy to understand why royalty have been coming to Avington Park for centuries; the setting beside the Itchen is idyllic. This walk provides great views of the house, bridges over the river, a hilltop swing and Hampshire countryside at its finest.

What better way to climb the hill up to Selborne Common than via the zig-zag path that naturalist Gilbert White cut into the hillside over 200 years ago? Once you have enjoyed the views from above, make your way back down the beech hanger and enjoy refreshments from the pub at the bottom.
