Itchen Navigation
This linear route explores the section of the Itchen way between Allbrook and Bishopstoke. The water is in view to your side throughout the whole walk and it is easy to spot wildlife in the clear water. The recreation ground in Bishopstoke provided a sensible turning back point, after a play at the little park.
Nether Wallop
West of Stockbridge, three charming villages are strung together by the Wallop Brook. Our walk starts in Nether Wallop and loops around Middle and Over Wallop. Nether Wallop holds the biggest attractions for children, which include a delightful riverside picnic area and an outstanding park
South Gorley
Meet the animals at Hockey’s Farm Shop & Café, a family run business in the New Forest, before embarking on a circular walk across the heath with views over Chibden Bottom.
Rockford Common
At the far western edge of Hampshire is this must do walk for families with a huge sandpit to explore, a ford to paddle in and a lakeside pub with an excellent play area.
Flood Meadows
Flood meadows is an absolute gem on the edge of Alton. Close to its source, the River Wey flows through this recreational space where dogs and children can splash, picnic and see the ducks. Our route then explores the surrounding countryside and farmland with a stop at two play areas.
