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.

What’s new?

  • There have been some significant changes to the play trail at Alice Holt Forest. It now features six incredibly crafted marble run stations.

  • Since our last visit, this walk at Itchenor in the Chichester Harbour National Landscape has got a new café to add to the pub already in the charming waterside village.

  • It was good to see that this path was back open again over the River Meon at Droxford. It looks like you were pleased too, as our reel of this walk has had 230, 000 views to date!

  • We usually do this walk at Soberton in the Meon Valley in the summer when we can picnic and paddle. The river was was too high to paddle, but food from the White Lion pub made up for this!

  • The ploughmans at The Royal Oak comes highly recommended, as does this walk in the surrounding New Forest which we recently updated.

  • Because everyone loves a refreshment stop on a walk, we have added directions for reaching a tea-room with a little play area to this walk at Iping Common near Midhurst.
