Overview

We will ramble through the chocolate box village of Braishfield and through the bluebells woods of Fernhill Copse. Then up over Windmill Hill and The Gallops with magnificent views across the Test Valley and beyond. There are generally good tracks and paths with no stiles. There maybe some mud and tree roots to negotiate in the woods.

Bring refreshments for a stop along the way.

Please bring your ICE card with you or ask the leader for one.

Assistance dogs only please.

Park on the road on the right hand side just before you get to Braishfield Village Hall. The car park itself is usually reserved for people using the hall for activities. There is plenty of room on the road.
