Great coffee stop

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!!!

As a child the tale of Watership down haunted me, the movie traumatised me, to finally be able to visit where Richard Adams based it on was amazing. Such a beautiful area, I rewatched the film a day before coming. I'd not seen it since I was a child. Still a harrowing tale, but can see the genius and beauty of what was hidden in it.

This track is running amazingly at present (September 2024). Nice hard packed surface and some kind people have laid a chalk path at the bottom where it used to get boggy.

The Queen Inn in Dummer, great atmosphere, lovely food, and if you don’t manage to stop here, you would’ve missed out on one of Hampshire’s traditional, character pubs.

Expansive views from wide open hill top landscape

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

Lovely bit of green located in the tiny hamlet of Hannington. Could be a great place to stop and picnic before setting off on the rest of your journey.
