Reminded me of Yarra Ranges

Now collapsed and impassable, a hugely ecologically important site now which houses many Bats.

Historic feature on this route. Now non passable due to collapse but now hugely ecologically significant.

Livestock roaming free and lots of wildflower and Butterflies

Nice spot for some lunch and a pint

Grass meadows and the river Whitewater with children’s playground

Accessed via the towpath on the Basingstoke Canal, which makes for a pleasant walk, if sometimes a little busy, Odiham Castle is interesting to walk around. The towpath can get a little muddy!

One of King John's three castles, this spectacular ruin sits on the edge of the Basingstoke Canal around halfway between Windsor and Winchester castles. Odiham Castle was built at the very beginning of the 13th century and was possibly where the king rode out from to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede. Extended during the later 13th century, over the next 200 years it was sometimes used as a prison. King David II of Scotland was incarcerated here for over a decade although was allowed to keep a household, so it was possibly quite a pleasant stay. Used as a hunting lodge in the 15th century and ruined by 1600, the castle has a significant history. Today, you can visit for free.
