An interesting walk from the Test Valley to the downs. We will investigate some interesting bits including an ice house, old cottages, chalk quarry, water meadows and chalk streams. There is some lane walking and good paths. There is a steep bit though with hand rails when we go down the side of the quarry.
Bring refreshments for a coffee stop.
Park in the visitors car park at Mottisfont. Turn immediately right when you enter the car park and park at the far end facing the road.
For those wanting to visit the grounds and house afterwards, there is a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang exhibition, cafes, gardens and shop to see.
