Overview

Just 40 minutes south of Farnham by car is the beautiful Meon Valley.  Starting in East Meon we will walk though the valley on to the South Downs Way path and ascend up to the top of the Downs for beautiful views of both the Meon Valley and the Isle of Wight. Our lunch stop will be at Butser Hill before we return in the afternoon back down through the valley to the delightful village of East Meon.  The walk has one main ascent up on to the South Downs.
