We are the Romsey Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Angus B.
A good stroll along well marked tracks from Broad Chalke village along the ridge of Compton Down with views south, and north from Chiselbury hill fort, before a sharp descent past the Fovant Badges, then a gentle climb for a view of the badges from the north. There is a more strenuous, but short, climb onto Fovant Down, followed by a gentle descent over the last 3 miles back to the start.
The ground is generally good with no styles. Boots for ankle support are recommended, and walking sticks would benefit some on the steeper descents and climbs, especially if the path is slippy from rain. Bring a packed lunch, and a wind proof jacket.
Romsey Rapids Car Park. If you require a lift, please contact the walk leader the day before at the latest. Car sharing is recommended.
Chalke Valley Sports Centre Car Park (a donation of £2 per car is requested, details from walk leader on the day). Car sharing is recommended due to limited spaces.
