アッシュハーストとコルベリーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Churchplace Inclosure has gravel trails that weave through a mix of oak and beech trees. Keep an eye out for deer, and woodpeckers. The woods can be particularly good for spotting butterflies from June to August.

Crook Hill railway bridge crosses the South Western mainline, making it a good place to rest while train-spotting. The railway track forms the boundary of Ashurst Wood to the west and Churchplace Inclosure to the east.

A very beautiful and peaceful stretch of a quiet road between Ashurst Lodge (south) and Lyndhurst Road (north). Nearer Lyndhurst Road, spot the site of Saltpetre House, earthwork remains of a 16th century saltpetre house (the raw material for gunpowder).

A lovely, surrounded by woodland, bridge over the rail line - perfect for some trainspotting! To the east, the woodland of Churchplace Inclosure; to the west, Ashurst Wood. A quiet and serene place.

First established in 1810, Churchplace Inclosure is a predominantly oak and beech woodland that has been fenced off from grazing animals. It is a good example of sustainable woodland management which supports both timber production and wildlife conservation. The wide grassy rides provide access into the woodland to harvest trees and act as long narrow glades where wildflowers and insects such as butterflies can enjoy the sunlight.
