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

We will walk from a lay-by near Hinton Ampner and walk past the source of the River Itchen, then taking some footpaths around Cheriton, before heading on towards the church at Hinton Ampner. We will take the ridge, which can be muddy, towards Joan's Acre Wood and take the woodland paths back to the start. We will be walking on footpaths, along fields, woods and tracks.
Bring a drink and a snack.
There are some gentle slopes. We cross the A272 twice, and many areas are likely to be muddy. Please wear sturdy footwear.
There is limited parking in the lay-by so it is recommended to use the meet point to car share.
If you are travelling to the start point directly please use what3words or the grid reference.
Alton Sports Centre Lower Car Park Park in Alton Sports Centre Lower Car Park (by Alton Skate Park, Jubilee Playing Field, Chawton Park Road, Alton) or in the upper overflow car park. Leader will be at meet point.
The start point is in the lay-by Hinton Hill/Church Road. From the A272 turn into Hinton Hill, follow the road to the left and then the right until the road splits, take the road on the right and when the road widens, some parking spaces are available either side of the road. Please take care to use What3words installs.stun.crispier and not the post code if you are driving directly to the start point.
