Overview

From the centre of Bishops Waltham we head out across the Moors then walk along green lanes and across fields through Upper Swanmore eventually making a steep descent into Droxford bowl to pick up the Wayfarer’s Walk for a short distance at Fir Down. Climbing up Sherpherd’s Down we follow the lane towards Dundridge before branching off across fields via Dunscombe to pick up a pretty footpath back into Bishops Waltham. Picnic lunch.
