Overview

An 11.5 mile circular walk from Old Alresford, following the Ox Drove east and then cutting up to the Three Castles path which takes us to Upper Wield.  From there we head south to Bighton before returning to Old Alresford.  We walk along tracks, field edges and short stretches of quiet lanes.  There will inevitably be mud in places.
