All Saints Church, Hinton Ampner

All Saints was founded in Saxon times. However, the church you see today was built in the 13th century and heavily restored in the 19th century. All Saints is situated within pleasant scenery close to Hinton Ampner House. The church is Grade II-listed.

Hinton Ampner House and Gardens

Highlight • Monument

Hinton Ampner House is a Grade II-listed stately home with stunning gardens. The country house was built in 1790, remodelled in 1867, and then rebuilt by its last owner, Ralph Dutton, after a fire in 1960. The property is now owned by the National Trust. For more information, visit: nationaltrust.org.uk/hinton-ampner.

Source of the River Itchen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The source of the Itchen lies just south of Cheriton and New Alresford, in the South Downs National Park. The springs well up here and form a stream that winds north, becoming one of England's finest chalk streams. Well known for its excellent fishing, the Itchen is a thriving habitat for birds and wildlife in general.

South Downs Way Drinking Water Point

Highlight • Rest Area

Fresh water tap - an essential resource for South Downs Way walkers and cyclists. Tap tested and working in May 2022.

Holden Farm Café & Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

The South Downs Way goes right through the farm and the café & campsite are tucked behind the farm. The café uses locally sourced ingredients. The campsite is quiet and unspoiled and the facilities are super-clean and thoughtfully set out - perfect for cyclists and walkers. I wholeheartedly recommend it! Check the website for café opening hours and to book camping holdenfarm.co.uk
