Simple, pleasant walk. Possible detours .

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

This trail is one I have been riding most weeks since 1997, like all natural trails it evolves as trees fall or new puddles form. Always lots of fun in the summer, can become hard work with mud in Jan/Feb, but usually passable. The tree felling made it mostly impassable for 2022, and then passable with care in 2023. After plenty of work from locals it became fully rideable again in the summer of 2024. The jumps closer to Winchester were built by people with small wheel bikes, they are usable with larger wheels, but check the landings before using.

EDIT May 2023: The logging activity has now concluded and the trail has become useable. There are tons of small branches/debris littering the trail and a lot of damage to the surface and the route. Some of the bogs have been filled with bark chippings but there are some left still. The trail no longer flows and it's hard to read. Such a shame. At least it no longer forces you to walk. ----------------------------------- This trail has been rendered un-ridable by devastating logging activity. I was able to carry my bike through with difficulty, but it is now a bog and the logs and debris on the ground make it impossible to ride. Please DO NOT ride on the parallel Andover Road, it is extremely dangerous. Just find a way through the bog on foot. No idea when or if it will be repaired. So so sad for the area.

This is a great route with some nice climbs

Lovely church in a scenic village, be careful of the steep corner coming from Steventon Road onto Waltham Lane.

I could find very little information on this quaint XIX century church sitting in the Test Valley... all I could find is the short description below: "The present St. Mary's Church was built in 1880 and it replaced a very ancient chalk walled building which was built 1830-1837. The Church is of flint structure and the North-west tower is an octagonal shingled broach spire. There are some mediaeval tiles behind the altar. The list of incumbents dates from the year 1315." Cit. https://stockbridge.2day.uk/section/AboutOurChurches There is a white weathercock at the top of the spire.

There has been Christian worship in North Waltham since around 1200AD and the Church still plays an important part in village life with services every Sunday, and church members are represented in most village groups. The present building dates back to 1865 when it was rebuilt [by J Colson] following collapse of the South wall and chancel arch in about 1850. However, it contains enough original masonry to show the development of the building through the Norman and Gothic periods [C13, C14, C15]. The church has been Grade II listed since 1957. cit. https://www.nwsadchurch.org/churches/north-waltham/ https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1092931
