Overview

 An 11 mile circular walk from Downton.  A mix of open countryside and woods. We make our way to Wick Down, where there are lovely views across the Avon valley and the New Forest beyond. We continue on to Breamore Park on forest tracks. A lunch stop at St Leonard's Church, Whitsbury, before heading back to Downton.

A few stiles. 

Public toilets across the road at the Start/Finish.
