We will walk from Cheriton village, across part of the site of the English Civil War battle, touching the edge of Bramdean and looping back through Hinton Ampner to Cheriton.  It's an easy walk on gently rolling terrain, with good views. 

Anyone and everyone welcome. We invite members of other Rambler groups and anyone wanting to try out the Ramblers.

Dogs are welcome with well behaved owners.  There are parts of the walk where dogs will need to be kept on a lead.  At the time of the recce there were no livestock on the route but this cannot new guaranteed on the day.
