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 will be very scenic, over fields and quiet lanes and we will visit many of Jane Austen's favourite haunts that inspired her famous novels. We will be following the River Test to its source and will see the churches and houses that featured in the first 25 years of Jane's life. Our walk will be over gently undulating countryside, but there may be flooding and heavy Hampshire clay.
Please bring a packed lunch. There is an inn and a tea room available for refreshments at the end of the walk. Dogs on leads please.
Overton Hill Car Park, London Road (B3400). Please share cars where possible as parking spaces are limited because it's free and used by locals, with no time restrictions. 6 EV charging points available and recycling bins. Approach on the B3400 from the East (Basingstoke) and turn right at the recycling site signpost after the recreation ground, which is the entrance to a newish housing estate. If approaching from the South (Micheldever) turn right in the centre of Overton onto the B3400 and the car park is on the left. OS Map X144.
