WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE at UPTON GREY (4K)

In this episode of my series “ Walks in Hampshire”, I take a walk in & around the village of Upton Grey which is located about 5 miles South of Basingstoke. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.

I park my car at the Hoddington Arms (my final destination) and start off my 5 mile circular walk with a wander through the village of Upton Grey. Passing the enchanting village pond, I head up to visit the Church of St Marys.

My route into the countryside starts by going Southwards through Hoddington Park towards Privett Copse & Little Park Copse. These delightful woodland areas are full of bluebells with the sound of birds singing all around.

My journey then takes me Northwards across fields towards the village of Weston Patrick. Another settlement full of stunning houses & cottages as well as a pretty church (Church of St Lawrence).

I continue North, passing through the tiny hamlet of Weston Corbett before eventually joining a section of the Three Castles Way.

Shortly after an intersection with a Roman road, I follow a bridleway back to Upton Grey and finish up for light refreshments at the Hoddington Arms.

NB: I should have removed my cap when I was in the church - please accept my apologies for the oversight.
