Broadwater Park has plenty to keep families with a play area, ducks to feed, a lake to walk around and waffles to try. But just across the road is The Godalming Navigation, which makes a walk here even more interesting as you can watch the barges traverse the locks.

This tiny country park on the edge of Liphook is a valuable habitat for local wildlife. It comprises a small area of woodland and water meadow and The River Wey makes its journey through the centre. Families enjoy coming here to walk the dog and dip their toes in the shallow waters.

Slightly different from many of our countryside walks, this one follows the streets of the attractive town of Alton for much of the route before reaching the open riverside space of Flood Meadows.

Waverley Abbey was the first Cistercian monastery in Britain. The ruins are now free to roam around and can be combined with this gentle walk to the attractive village of Tilford, with a pub on its village green.

This walk along The River Wey Navigation packs in an awful lot. The romantic remains of Newark Priory, an Elizabethan summer house, a riverside pub and plenty of locks, weirs and bridges.
