Overview

The three villages along the Wallop Brook were one of the locations where filming Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, starring Joan Hickson, took place. There are classic chocolate boxy thatched cottages, an XIth Century church, woodland, drovers tracks and mysterious disused agricultural buildings in remote places, high above the valley…...very good for a quiet murder.

This is a leisurely walk with no extreme gradients. The paths are very good although sometimes quite narrow. Our coffee stop will be at St Peter's churchyard in Over Wallop.
