Ashford Hangers

Ashford Hangers comprises 323 acres of wooded hillside, much of it beech trees. The views from the top are well worth the climb and this is also one of the best places to find wild garlic in Hampshire.

Liss Riverside Walk

For this walk, we gave the legs a rest and took our bikes and scooters as the old railway line beside the River Rother is flat and even making is suitable for wheels as well as feet.

On a recent walk at the RSPB’s Pagham Harbour reserve, we got to try out some bird themed crafts. There are more special activities like these on over half term

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.
