This Pathfinder Guide makes the ideal companion for country walks throughout this varied and beautiful region. The walks include locations in the New Forest and South Downs National Parks and other Hampshire locations. Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed full colour 1:25,000 scale maps from Ordnance Survey and specially commissioned photographs.

With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations.

The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Each walk entry begins with a box giving start, distance, height gain, time, parking and route terrain.
