20 simple, circular routes covering the whole of Hampshire and the New Forest, with everything from crystal-clear chalk streams to spectacular coastline. River, canal and coastal walks to suit all the family.
With everything from crystal-clear chalk streams to spectacular coastline, it's no exaggeration to say that Hampshire is blessed with some of the country's most beautiful water.
These 20 Hampshire walks show off the county at its best. You'll explore famous rivers with walks along the Test and the Itchen, as well the lesser-known but equally attractive Wey, Dever and Alre. There are routes along peaceful tidal stretches, including the Beaulieu at Buckler's Hard and the Hamble at Bursledon, as well as glorious coastal walks on the Solent shore at Calshot and Pennington.
The walks, which vary in length between 2 and 5 miles, are all circular and easy to follow. Each one offers an outing of discovery through some of the best of Hampshire's rich countryside.
