Lovely quiet roads, watch out for the cattle grids

Coffee, breakfast baps and sweet treats on offer.

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!

Waters are crystal clear!

Avington Park is a historic country estate with rich history that dates back to the 10th century, with the current manor house being constructed in the late 17th century. The estate has been owned by several prominent families throughout the centuries, and it remains a privately-owned property. It's also famous for its serene lake, situated close to the manor house and Avington Park Lane which is part of National Cycle Network route 23.

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.

A lovely stop with food stall. We just had a hot chocolate and cookie. The walk up the Southdowns Way in the direction of Winchester is lovely. We walked from Petersfield along the Southdowns Way and earlier in the year from Old Winchester Hill. Both lovely.

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/>
