We are the Eastleigh Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We revisit the Ashford Hangers near Hawkley and its fantastic scenery, hopefully with better weather than our last visit so we will be able to see the views. This walk starts in Hawkley village and does a circuit including Hawkley Hanger, Wealdon Edge Hangers and Shoulder of Mutton Hill. There is over 400m of ascent in the circuit which is why the walk is just 8 miles.
There is a pub at the end of the walk for those requiring more refreshment if it is a hot day.
Bring refreshments for coffee stop and picnic lunch.

There is a small car park by the village hall, opposite the church (voluntary donation of £2 per car - please bring cash). There is also space for parking around the village green. Space is limited so car sharing is advisable. Hawkley village is accessed via some narrow, sunken lanes. I suggest that the best route to follow is to take the A32 to East Tisted, turn right at the church, after 3 kms take a turning to the right, opposite Hullham Lane, follow this lane for another 3 kms to a staggered crossroad and turn right into Hawkley village. the car park is on the right opposite the church.
