Watership Down

“Come and look, you can see the whole world up here”, say the rabbits as they arrive at Watership Down. You can follow in their footsteps and look out for locations from Richard Adams’ famous novel on this walk in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape.

Hazeley Heath

A longer walk, that packs in an awful lot. Starting from a beautiful country pub, the walk follows Hazeley Heath towards Hartley Wintney. You will find views of historic houses, quiet ponds, a woodland play area and remnants of WW2 tank training.

Our Collections

What’s new?

  • It was a welcome relief to go back to Wildhams Wood in West Sussex and see that the woodland had recovered from recent forestry work. The bluebells and wild garlic are blooming.

  • If you are going to Crab Wood, near Winchester, to see the bluebells you can follow our circular walk and use new details about how to find a farm shop cafe nearby.

  • What was once a linear walk at Breamore, has now become an absolute show stopper of a walk with bluebells, cafe, historic home, museum and miz-maze. This walk really shows the best of the English countryside.

  • I have updated our bluebell walk at Stoke Park Wood, Bishopstoke, and it now includes a family friendly pub and an extra bluebell wood!

  • A little change to this route at Whitchurch means you can now start it at the silk mill and pass a play area. This one has been really popular on our social media, so have a look and see why.

  • Path improvements mean that this walk around the Chidham Peninsula in Chichester Harbour National Landscape can now be done at low or high tide.
