Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey Sussex
Cheesefoot Head
On the downs above Winchester, the quirkily named Cheesefoot Head is an area of far reaching views with a network of paths including the South Downs Way. In the summer there are meadows of wildflowers and often fields of blue linseed.
St Catherine’s Hill
Easily accessible from the centre of Winchester, St Catherine’s Hill not only has great views but it also is home to an intriguing mizmaze; a turf labyrinth that children will love to solve.
Newlands Corner and Silent Pool
Near Guildford, this popular beauty spot has plenty to offer the whole family from a variety of long and short trails, a Discovery Centre, natural play area, café, toilets, views, picnic benches, art installation and even a nearby gin distillery!
The Trundle
This short and easy walk allows families to explore the ancient monument that is the Iron Age hillfort of The Trundle. At the same time you can enjoy fantastic views across the landscape as far as The English Channel and directly over Goodwood Race Course.
Halnaker Windmill
Photographers come from far and wide to see the famous tree tunnel at Halnaker, near Chichester, in its Autumn glory. But this is a walk for all seasons with an atmospheric ruin, vineyards and a hilltop windmill to see along the way.
Every Ambling Path walk has a stand out feature that children will love including magnificent play areas, shallow rivers for paddling, epic country parks and ancient ruins to explore.
