Overview

This wild walk takes you from a celebrated Surrey beauty spot deep into Hampshire, visiting villages, Passfield, Conford and Bramshott, which were hidden from the world outside for centuries. Much of the walk is over heath, brimming with heather and silver birch, with some breathtaking views. The central feature is Waggoners Wells, a string of lakes deep in the forest where the colours change from season to season.
