The walk will commence from the Basingwell Street car park in Bishops Waltham, which is pay & display. As it is a Saturday, the car park may be busy - there is alternative parking available at the nearby Jubilee Hall which usually has plenty of spaces available. Please allow extra time to arrive in good time. Please aim to arrive around 20 mins ahead of the walk to ensure you have time to park.
