We are the Hampshire 40+ Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

If you would like a break from the Christmas preparations join me for this pleasant and varied stroll from Hartley Wintney. The walk takes in Hazeley Heath, with views of the old police college, then paths through farmland and woodland with a few short sections on quiet roads. There will be a short snack/drink stop after about 2.5 miles and a lunch stop at about 5.5 miles, near West Green House. Refreshment options available in the village after the walk include cafes and the Waggon and Horses pub, to be decided on the day depending on group size and preferences. Alternatively there is a selection of independent shops if anyone would like to do some last minute Christmas shopping!
Bring snacks/drinks and a packed lunch.
This walk is flat with only 2 stiles but will be wet and muddy in places. Walking boots are necessary and gaiters recommended.
Well behaved dogs welcome but will need to be on a lead for much of this walk due to livestock fields and road sections.
Toilets available at the start
