Overview

Starting at the Barley Mow Slipway Car Park we make our way along the Basingstoke Canal towpath to Sprats Hatch Bridge. We cross the bridge and walk along to Tundry Pond where we pause to enjoy the views. 

We continue our walk across fields then another short stretch of the canal. We follow a wide path that leads into a stretch of woodland, horses and pretty countryside.
