We are the Hampshire 40+ Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A lovely walk around the pretty sleepy villages of St Mary Bourne & Stoke - with their chocolate box thatched cottages and around both sides of the Bourne Valley with some beautiful views across the North Wessex Downs as well as a bit of woodland walking along the way, a rather random selection of army vehicles to be observed, and a stunning finish as we descend back into St Mary Bourne with beautiful views over the lake & village.
We will start from the centre of St Mary Bourne where the well stocked local village store should be open, selling tea, coffee & a variety of snacks & cakes and after the walk we will head to the George Inn for optional post- walk refreshments
Please bring refreshments for two stops - mid morning + lunch.
Dogs welcome with well behaved owners.
Note that the car park may be busy - additional parking may be available around the village but car sharing is very much to be encouraged.
There are public toilets available at the car park.
The free car park is tucked away off the main street through the village and is located next to the main village store. Please drive carefully as the roads are narrow and there are parked vehicles on the streets.
