Farnham & District Ramblers offers an all-year-round programme of walks in the beautiful Surrey Hills, North East Hampshire, and South Downs National Park.

Our walk from Abbotstone Down will take us through beautiful Hampshire countryside, through Chilton, Brown Candover and Northington, then on to the outskirts of Old and New Alresford. We will then walk along the River Itchen and the watercress beds. We hope to visit the grounds of The Grange, which is famous for being one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in Europe.
PLEASE NOTE: This walk will ONLY take place with a “booking” made via TEXT (name included) to walk leader’s mobile number on or before 20/03/2026 . The reason being that as this walk is the first of the 15 mile walks for 2026, many walkers may be away, so your leader wishes to ensure that there will be more than 3 people attending the walk!!!
Please bring a picnic lunch and extra snacks/water if you think you will need them, because of the additional distance of the walk. Good walking boots/shoes and appropriate clothing for the weather on the day.
Abbotstone Down Car Park, Basingstoke Road. On the B3046 north of Alresford. There is an overflow car park on the opposite side of the road if full. OS Map X132/0L32.
