We are the Eastleigh Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a varied walk on the northern edge of the New Forest and will take us down tracks and quiet lanes, through some woods, across fields and along a little bit of the Avon Valley Path. This is quite up and downy but not excessively so and we also have about 8 stiles. Depending on the weather, only a little bit of mud. There are some great views across the Avon Valley and the Hale Purlieu.
Bring refreshments for a coffee stop.
There are no shops or toilets on this walk. No booking is required.
If anyone wants to car share, I am happy to pick up from the Rapids in Romsey or near the Co-op at Abbotswood, so just get in touch.
The National Trust Car Park on Hale Purlieu. From Cadnam, take the road to Brook (B3079), then the road to Fordingbridge (B3078). After about 5 miles, take the right fork onto the Forest Road (B3080). After about 3 miles, take a left turn down Tethering Drove to North Charlford. Then the next left onto Hale Purlieu. Continue down for about 2 miles and the National Trust car park is on the left.
