Overview

This undulating walk takes us along the edge of Stockbridge Down, through Leckford Golf Course and along the Test Way for a short distance before crossing a very picturesque part of the river en route to Longstock. Heading uphill on a wide track, we then visit Danebury Hill Fort, walking round the inner circle before stopping for a picnic lunch with far reaching views. We make our way back via Houghton Down and Stockbridge High Street.
