Simple, pleasant walk. Possible detours .

Dogs will love splashing around in the River Test that crosses the common on the Chilbolton side.

The hillfort on the top of the hill has never been excavated, but the land and ditch are sharply defined and well preserved. This Iron Age fort is roughly rectangular and enclosed seven acres within an embankment and ditch. There are two probable entrances to the east and west. The work seems to have been undertaken by several different labour forces, each working on a section of the defences, but for some reason the task was abandoned and the fort left unfinished. Great to walk along the unfinished ramparts, it's windy and flipping huge!!!

This is a wonderful spot with a lovely display of seasonal wildflowers that bloom within the spring and summer months.

White Hill offers a beautiful view of Cannon Heath Down, the Gallops and The Warren. This is a great place to spot birds, including linnets, yellowhammers, skylarks, buzzards and kestrels.

Step off the road and look in the bottom of the shallow depression. Here you will find this mysterious stone. Definitely worth a visit if only to learn about its history and folklore. Also the views from Chute Causeway are superb.

Chilbolton Cow Common is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) with two divides of the River Test flowing through it. The common has chalk and peat soils and supports many interesting flowers, including orchids. You can also observe birds, including kingfishers, hawks, owls, buzzards, kestrels, egrets, and red kites.

From this spot, you get a wonderful view over the rolling Hampshire countryside. A short distance to the west, you find Cottington Hill and Bowry Walls hill fort.
