Overview

This walk is a circular walk and starts off at the woodland carpark in Chawton Park Wood. We follow an easterly route along the Writers Way following the Watercress Line on our right. We then head Northwest following the boundary of Bushy Leaze Wood to Tinkers Lane and Bentworth for lunch

The afternoon we follow pathways back to Chawton Park wood. It is a pleasant walk , hilly in places but offering open views of the Hampshire countryside .

The walk will involve a few stiles and given the time of year could be slippery underfoot, so poles are advised.
