Overview

A 12 mile circular walk starting from the Horsebridge car park to the south of Kings Somborne.  The route follows the Test Way before crossing the Romsey road and climbing up to Michelmersh.  After a short stop at the church we continue to Braishfield then head north towards Kings Somborne on field paths and tracks.  There are beautiful views across the Test Valley, open fields and woodland.  Mostly good going, a few stiles and overgrown paths.
