Overview

A  downland loop starting from Hannington with continual spectacular views as we loop around this hilltop village, along wide chalky based tracks with some linking field footpaths. Singing skylarks, ancient oak woodland, the open fields and the wide ranging views will make this an uplifting walk.
Bring water and food for two short refreshment breaks. NOTE - there is a provision shop halfway into the route at Kingsclere.

Please let the leader know if you intend to join this walk.
