Overview

Meet at the West Down Nature Reserve Car Park, Chilbolton for a walk involving the climb of three downs and the crossing of two nature reserves with views of the River Test and the River Anton. Bring refreshments for a mid-morning break. This walk could be 6.4 miles if the route across Cow Common is flooded and it is necessary to go around that area. 

Opportunity to go to the Chilbolton Stores and Tea Rooms afterwards.
