Overview

This walk starts from the Meon Hall in Meonstoke which has a large car park.

In the morning we walk on mainly good paths and lanes towards Old Winchester Hill, but don't climb to the top. There are lovely views throughout most of the walk.  The afternoon walk goes through Exton up towards Corhampton and back down through the fields. Again there are good views for most of the walk.

It is possible to treat this as a figure of eight walk as we pass the carpark on our way back from the morning walk.
