Overview

This walk starts from the Test Way car park at Horsebridge. We will start along the Test Way and then climb up for a coffee stop overlooking the Test Valley. We make our way back down to have lunch at The Bear and Ragged Staff pub. After lunch it is an easy flat walk back to the car park. Good tracks and small roads throughout the walk. About 6 miles in the morning and 3 after lunch.
