Overview

Starting at the car park at Rockford, we will walk past Moyles Court School and head up through Mockbeggar onto Ibsley Common and then make our way over to Fritham Plain. We will drop down to Dockens Water and ford the river and walk up to Ocknell Plain and into Milkham Enclosure to the outskirts of Linwood before crossing Rockford Common back to our start point. 

Paths are a mixture of gravel tracks and grass which can be wet with shallow standing water after heavy rain. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear some areas may be muddy and  we will be fording one river where the depth may vary. No toilet facilities on route, please bring a packed lunch.
