Lovely house and grounds to wonder pre/post walk or both. Great facilities with two places to eat and drink. National Trust members can gain access for free. Peak times and seasonal interests can be very busy.

The Sprat and Winkle railway line operated between Redbridge (Southampton) and Andover Junction. The line opened in 1865 after converting an existing canal to railway. The line was closed in 1964 and is now a lovely flat walking and cycling trail, which forms part of the Test Way.

This stretch of National Cycle Network 246 (https://www.sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-246) runs off-road along Monarch's Way and The Test Way (which in this section follow the same path). The Monarch's Way is a 625-mile (1,006 km) footpath in England that approximates the escape route taken by King Charles II in 1651 after being defeated in the Battle of Worcester. It runs from Worcester via Bristol and Yeovil to Shoreham, West Sussex, and is an approximation of the original route using available public rights of way, having been radically changed in the centuries by enclosure, mining, urbanisation and the building of roads, canals and railways. This particular stretch runs on a well-maintained gravelly path through the woods. Please cycle respectfully sharing the path with ramblers and walkers.

Mottisfont House is very near this and well worth a visit. If you go past this Phone box walking out of Mottisfont you can walk/ride along a lane which leads down to Mottisfont/Dunbridge train station which has a very nice pub next to it for refreshments.
