Overview

A country walk in Hampshire. Fields, tracks, lanes and the odd hamlet feature in this walk which starts on Bramdean Common and then heads through woodland and fields to Bishop’s Sutton then further North to Bighton.  We then head West towards Four Marks before heading South to Ropley and back to Bramdean Common.

Mud is inevitable with the recent weather and at this time of the year so it is best to be prepared for that.  The mud is not pervasive but can lead to temporary height gain if passing through a recently ploughed field.

Temperatures will be 4C max, feeling like 2C so maximum layering of clothing is a necessity. 

Please bring drink and food for the day.  There are no facilities and all activities will be al fresco.

Just off Wood Lane on Bramdean Common there is a small parking area. Take care there can be some big potholes. If coming along the A272 turn onto Wood Lane by the Garage in Bramdean. Follow Wood Lane for about 1.5 miles from the Garage turning.
