Overview

A circuit around Marwell Zoo via wooded lanes and wide vistas.

East on *dry* tracks past Marwell House and turning north onto Red Lane. We turn northwest onto the Pilgrims Trail and a coffee stop at Owslebury church, if we haven't been tempted to have one earlier. A long and delightful stroll along Water Lane leads us back to where we started from. A couple of stiles, but not enough to remember. 

With luck we'll see a bevy of spring flowers - the bluebells were just bursting to come out when I did the recce over a week ago.
