Overview

We start with a generally easy route south from Stockbridge Down to Kings Somborne through open fields and a narrow woodland path.  From Kings Somborne, we climb up to the Clarendon Way where there are great views before dropping down to the Test Way.  We then head back north towards Stockbridge before making a steep ascent on our way back to the Down.   There are no stiles on this walk.  Please bring drinks and a picnic lunch.
