Overview

Please park considerately in the village. We will start by going up to the Ridgeway via Gramps Hill. Then we cross the Ridgeway, heading south-west to Bockhampton Down where we head east across Warren Down and Washmore Hill to South Fawley. The return is north to the Ridgeway then down Smith’s Hill to the start. Weather permitting, we should get good views in many directions. Bring picnic. Vale Walk Leader JG 07968 710869
