This little nature reserve packs in an awful lot. We managed to spend a few hours here last winter, and in the summer we probably could have spent even more!

Follow the Radnor Trail through varied woodland from ancient deciduous to Norway spruce to Bratley Water where children can splash in the stream. The walk ends at a viewing platform, where if you are lucky, you will see a herd of fallow deer. A great choice for the autumn.

This has to be one of the very best family walks in The New Forest. It is flat, short, signposted and has two paddling locations, picnicking spots, an ice-cream van, ponies and toilets. It can be busy in the summer, but pop on your wellies and have it to yourself in winter.

When the tide is out, this quiet, dog friendly corner of Hayling Island provides a sandy beach and sand dunes. A great place for a family stroll by the sea.

There is something magical in the woods of this National Trust Nature reserve, near Whitely. As you follow the creek that leads to the River Hamble, look out for the fairy tree and bring an offering to the little folk who reside there.

The largest freshwater lake in Hampshire is set within a variety of landscapes from heathland to woodland to marshland.

Picture postcard Bosham is the kind of place you will want to spend an entire day. As well as this walk there are craft shops, galleries, tea-rooms, pubs, a quay, stream and views of Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

As the name suggests, this is a little sandy corner of Hayling Island’s coastline. This is an easy walk around it with easy views to Chichester Harbour.

You might not expect to find a green flag beach in land-locked Surrey, but there is one that you can enjoy on this walk on the banks of Frensham Great Pond.
