Overview

An 8-mile circular walk from Sherfield English to Whiteparish, across open countryside and through quiet deciduous woodlands. Great views from the open sections and the final stretch through Melchet Park never fails to impress with its parkland setting and Melchet Pond. There are several stiles on this walk. Please bring drinks and picnic lunch.
