Overview

From our car park at Mottisfont we will ascend via a lane to Michelmersh and then along tracks to Lower Eldon. There are lovely views across downland and from there we descend gently to Lower Brook and join part of the old Winkle and Sprat railway line path, then cross meadows to Oakley. We will then join the Test Way and return through Mottisfont Village.

There will be a refreshment stop along the way. It's all pretty leisurely and good paths or lanes. One or two stiles only.
