Overview

A hilly walk taking us east out of East Meon towards Ramsdean before the steep ascent to the summit of Butser Hill. We will then head down to and then through the Queen Elizabeth country park before heading north via Weston and Stroud towards Froxfield Green. The return will be past Park Hill hopefully giving us panoramic views of the village below as a finale.
