The short walk here always seems to take us hours as the children are so busy feeding the ducks, climbing the tree trunks, splashing in the ford, making dens and enjoying what feels like one natural playground to them.

Buriton has long been one of our favourite villages to take a Sunday afternoon stroll around. The girls love to feed the ducks and the well equipped park is one of their favourites.

This really is the walk for all seasons. The isolated church provides a splendid place to walk at any time of the year, but in spring the woodland behind it hides the most spectacular display of wild garlic and in the summer the fields in front of the church are planted with hundreds of golden sunflowers.

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!

If you have never spent an afternoon at this amazing park in Bordon, then you really should. It has to have one of the very best play areas in Hampshire as well as easy sandy trails to explore through woodland.

Just west of Winchester, this country park has miles of forestry paths to explore as well as chalk downland topped with a folly which has an interesting tale to tale.

This walk takes in both the heathland and the woodland of the the New Forest as well as wildlife rich marshland and pools.

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.

Whilst the grown ups admire the bluebells, wood anemone and other flowers that grow in this little woodland in spring, children can be kept entertained as they look out for the exquisite tree carvings hidden throughout this walk.
