This is another video in my series “Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I undertake a 4.5 mile circular route at New Alresford (a town located about 7 miles North East of Winchester). I follow a walk published in a book called “Hampshire & The New Forest - a dog walkers guide” by Vicky Fletcher. (I should point out that although the guide indicates that the walk is 4.5 miles, it may well be over 5 miles!).
I start my walk at the Alresford railway station (part of the heritage Watercress line) and make my way through the pretty town via an unusual public toilet (!), the church, the stunning Broad Street (possibly the prettiest street in Hampshire?) & the town mill to join a riverside walk.
My route takes me along the River Alre, passing a memorial garden, a stunning fulling mill, an Eel house & a vine plantation before I head North up an old drovers track to a high ridge on Wayfairers Way.
I then head East to Abbotstone, the location of an abandoned medieval village before walking back in to the town via some commercial watercress beds.
The weather was perfect for this late Spring / early Summer walk - glorious sunshine & a perfect temperature.
