These trout fishing ponds at Meon Springs make for a nice scenic, tranquil break. Especially so, as there is a cracking little cafe here with views out over the ponds. I had a great little snack here and found the staff and fishermen to be very friendly. It made my day!

This beautiful Norman Church of St. Mary’s that we see today was built between 1150 and 1200, but was preceded by a smaller one that is listed in Domesday Book of 1086. Whether or not it was a Saxon building is not certainly known but the manor of Mapledurham, of which Buriton was the centre, was Saxon.

The village of Buriton enjoys an idyllic setting at the foot of the downs, complete with a duck pond. Next to the pond is the Church of Saint Mary, a beautiful building dating back to the 12th Century. <https://southdownsdiscovery.com/destination-guides/buriton/>

This seawater moat was once part of the defence for the local barracks but now serves as a leisure lake. There's a thin strip of land separating it from Ports Creek and you can walk and cycle between it and the water and this western end. There's a lido next to it on one side and a playing field on the other.

Small nature reserve with benches. Nice place to stop if you need a break, but surrounded by reasonably busy roads, and no amenities on site.

Great location for the biking birders

Nice spot for a pic and a short stop.

Nice scenic spot good for a photo and a short break.
