Overview

The walk starts from Ecchinswell Village Hall where we have kind permission to park on the right-hand side of the car park as we enter. The route passes the War Memorial before joining the Brenda Parker Way (which can be very muddy), field paths and farm tracks to reach Laundry Cottages where a short break is anticipated. We then pass Watership Farm before climbing gently through Nuthanger Copse  to the high point of the day just beyond  Nuthanger Farm. The return to Ecchinswell Village Hall is via field paths and farm tracks and includes a gentle descent. There is one tricky stile to negotiate near the start of the walk.
