Overview

Starting at The Hatch we walk to Mapledurwell church to see the snowdrops. We continue up to Little Tunnel and then along the Basingstoke Canal, around Eastdrop Farm and head back towards Five Lanes End. Here we take the Lane towards Ragmore and continue on towards Huish Farm, returning along the path next to the M3 to the foot bridge and back to The Hatch.
