Overview

A circular walk through forest, open farmland and pretty historic villages.  The route is varied and undulating, being close to the Rivers Dever and Test.

The route of the walk should provide us with plenty opportunity to see wildlife, such as deer and wildfowl.  The villages en route feature many old interesting buildings and churches.

There are a couple of short sections of walking on tarmac...but they are safe and straightforward.
