Overview

This is a 12.5 miles circular walk that passes five historical mills on the river Test.  From the centre of Whitchurch the route takes us past the beautiful Fulling Mill before striking out across open countryside towards Laverstoke.  We cross the Test on the outskirts of Overton and climb up to join the ancient Harrow Way, then return to the river and follow it back to Whitchurch.
