From the natural play area at the bottom, take the easy climb up the wooded slopes of Chinthurst Hill and find a folly and gorgeous views.

This short and easy walk allows families to explore the Iron Age hillfort of The Trundle. You can enjoy fantastic views across the landscape as far as the English Channel and directly over Goodwood Race Course. As an optional extra, you can follow our route down to Singleton where you will find a pub and play area.

Broadwater Park has plenty to keep families with a play area, ducks to feed, a lake to walk around and waffles to try. But just across the road is The Godalming Navigation, which makes a walk here even more interesting as you can watch the barges traverse the locks.

Hidden among the trees beside the River Tillingbourne are the remnants of our industrial heritage. As well as uncovering the ruins from the gunpowder mills, children can also find a paddling area in one of the old waterways.

Just a stone’s throw from the heart of Winchester is this wetland nature reserve, known as the gateway to The River Itchen. The all access pathways take you over reedbeds, past ponds and sections of the river.

Riverside Park in Southampton marks the point where the Itchen Navigation reaches a tidal estuary on its way to the sea. Flat, surfaced paths guide you along the river where you will find play areas and even a miniature railway along the way.
