Overview

This gently undulating 11.5 mile circular walk begins in the Meon Valley in the centre of Droxford and takes in the surrounding villages of Soberton, Swanmore and the outskirts of Bishops Waltham. Highlights include Droxford and Soberton churches, views across Little Common Down, the River Meon and a lunch stop that offers a view of the Isle of Wight if the weather is clear.  The route includes good tracks and footpaths and a number of stiles.  There could still be some mud in places so poles might be useful.
