Overview

This is a moderate walk across farmland, woods and water meadows. We cross the railway line at Bentley Station over the footbridge. We walk out towards Binsted up a steep hill through woods, was quite muddy at the top of the hill there are views towards Binsted and Alice Holt. We walk through a corner of Alice Holt up another muddy hill, back to the station and off across the water meadows back to Bentley. 

There is an option to make the walk slightly shorter for anyone who would like that.
