Overview

We will follow in the footsteps of artist Norman Thelwell who lived in Timsbury. Much of his work was inspired by the countryside around the Test Valley. Our walk takes us on good paths and tracks with some very quiet lane walking. We will be passing interesting houses and cottages and a farm or two. Our coffee stop will be at Michelmersh church, and the field next door which was the site of Henry V's Agincourt camp for his archers before setting sail to Harfleur in France.

No booking is required but please bring your ICE card or other information for emergency contact.

Assistance dogs only please.

Bring refreshments for a coffee  stop.

There are only 2 stiles.

The Bear and Ragged Staff pub is nearby.
