Overview

A leisurely, picturesque walk from the East side of Petersfield, walking along and over the River Rother with beautiful views of the South Downs. We will circle around the South East of Petersfield briefly crossing into West Sussex before heading back towards Petersfield to explore the Petersfield Heath Lake area and then return to the starting point back along the River Rother. Bring a snack and a drink for a short break half way through the walk.
