Crookham Village
End this loop around The Basingstoke Canal with a stop at The exchequer pub. There are streams to cross, bridges to go under and some interesting WW"2 defences to investigate.
Beggarwood Park
Children will want to head straight to the play area and pump track at Beggarwood Park, so it is a good job the walk is super short and easy!
Zebon Copse
This unique little walk packs so much into a small space. There is a copse with bluebells and wildflowers, a boardwalk over a mire, a toddlers play area, an amazing trim trail for older children and a bridge that takes you out onto the Basingstoke Canal.
Rowhill Nature Reserve
The fifty-five acre Rowhill Nature Reserve is mainly made up of secondary ancient woodland. The well-signed Nature Trail follows the highlights of the reserve that include bluebell glades, boardwalks, ponds and a large meadow.
Odiham and King John’s Castle
A walk along the Basingstoke canal never disappoints and this one has some bonus features such as a waterside pub, a ford to paddle in and the free to entre ruins of King John’s Castle.
Southwood Country Park
Southwood Country Park is a 57-hectare green space in Farnborough. It is split into two sides, east and west. The east is home to an excellent cafe, a play area, Cove Brook and wilder land and paths. The west side is a former golf course and has an easy, very well surfaced circular walk.
