Overview

A brisk walk through footpaths that find some of our Hampshire Hangers near Selborne.  We will walk from the start point to follow the paths along the bottom of High Wood Hanger and Noar Hill Hanger,  skirting Empshott.   We make our way past Le Court Hanger and Squiresfield Hanger and onto Outshott and Adderhood Hangers.  There are rough uneven tracks and footpaths through the  woodland and countryside with vegetation due to the time of the year.  There are a number of stiles.

Selborne Recreation Ground. From Alton drive along the B3006 into Selborne and past the shops and pub. Turn sharp left at the "Ketchers Cottages" sign, up a small driveway and bear left into the recreation ground. The sign is diagonally opposite the Selborne Well Head. (If you get to the lay-by you have gone too far.)
