We are the Waltham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
via Bailey's Down, Farley and Ampfield Wood. Picnic lunch.
From the recreation ground we pick up the Monarch's Way and leave to follow a quiet dead end lane to Parnholt Wood via Bailey's Down. The route then ventures towards Farley and the isolated church. From here a lane descends gradually through Upper Slackstead to Lower Slackstead. A bridleway is followed to Red Gate and Ampfield Wood where a footpath meanders through to leave and cross fields to return to Braishfield.
Although we have had a dry spell some mud could be encountered in Ampfield Wood and the last leg across fields. Generally it will be quite good under foot. Walking boots recommended.
Pub available at end of walk for those who would like to relax after the walk and enjoy a drink.
