Overview

We will be walking on mainly good tracks, paths and lanes from Braishfield to Michelmersh, passing pretty cottages and large houses, between fields and up onto the Gallops with fantastic views across the Test Valley. We won’t  be going to France, but the fields around Michelmersh were where Henry V assembled his army before sailing from Southampton to Harfleur and eventually famously winning the Battle of Agincourt. There are one or two stiles and some gentle hills.
