There is plenty of appeal along this easy route along the River Ems from the busy harbour town of Emsworth with its picturesque mill pond, to the pretty village of Westbourne and Brook Meadow Nature Reserve.

Whitchurch sits on the crystal clear waters of the River Test and this walk criss-crosses over the river passing historic mills and pretty stone bridges.

This is a fantastic family walk that starts from the delightful Georgian town of Alresford, with its independent shops and eateries, before joining the crystal clear river where you will spot one of Hampshire’s most photographed homes.

A two mile stroll starting at Eling Quay will take you past Eling Tide Mill, Eling Great Marsh, Goatee Beach, Eling Church, Bartley Reach and will finish at the Visitor centre and café. The whole route has undergone recent improvements making it wheelchair and pushchair friendly.

This coastal walk connects two of the most picture postcard harbours in Hampshire. With options for pubs along the way and plenty of opportunities for seashore explorations, this is a delightful family walk.
