Overview

Venturing further afield for a fabulous, hilly, 9 mile walk over the South Downs, starting through the Queen Elizabeth Forest (Country Park off A3 south of Petersfield). After a steady ascent, we drop down to the attractive village of Buriton for coffee stop (bring your own). Then back up before we head south through open countryside with fabulous far reaching views.

We shall pause at the Red Lion at Chalton for lunch (or bring your own to picnic outside). Then one more climb up Windmill Hill from where you can look down on Butser Ancient Farm (not open on day of our trip), then returning to Queen Elizabeth Country Park. There are toilets and a cafe at this Park which opens at 10 am.

Because the drive is further and parking charges are significant (£7 for the day), I suggest MV residents car share from Young Street CP near Leatherhead.
