The charming village of Hartley Wintney is blessed with a wonderful array of commons. From mighty oaks to a splendid orchard, there's much to explore in these lovingly maintained green spaces. You'll find numerous footpaths across the central commons including two named trails: The Brenda Parker Way and The Three Castles Path.

Wide gravel tracks and evergreens make this heathland a joy to explore on bike or by foot. Forestry tracks cut through the area in every direction and much of it is open access land. The Three Castles Path, a long-distance walking trail, heads through the centre along Fox's Ride track. In the summer, keep an eye out for dragonflies near any water sources as the heath is well known for a wide variety of species.

With sections dating back to the 1500s, Eversley Church has seen a few things in its time. Nestled in the quiet, north Hampshire countryside, this serene church has a fascinating connection with literature. Between 1844 and 1875, Charles Kingsley was the rector here. Friend of Charles Darwin, Kingsley was the author of The Water Babies and several other works of fiction. His own life story is fascinating and wide ranging and he's buried in the churchyard here.
