Walk Description:
A walk leaving from The Potting Shed cafe at Hyde.
Taking a route which quite soon goes downhill we pass through a valley and up the other side to arrive at Ibsley Common and pass an information board about a Barrow in this area.
Ibsley Common is a very wide open space with views for miles.
As we progress round and start to climb again in the distance is Robin Hood's clump. They are eighteen scots pines in a circular enclosure. There is some dispute about this being a disc barrow which English Heritage believe. It may be so and the clump may have been planted on a pre-existing site.
Coming off the common we go downhill past some houses, cross a lane then make our way up hill eventually reaching Gorley Common and a flat walk back to our refreshments.
Just over four miles with a couple of hills but long stretches of flat walking.
At the cafe is a garden centre and gift/food shop along with icecream outlet.
They are in the process of making a toilet for walkers but at the moment the toilet is in the cafe.
I will pre-book a table. We order when we arrive back after the walk.
Please park in the large carpark behind the cafe.
Due to ground nesting birds any dogs need to be on a lead.
Be tick aware and bring water/hat as route exposed on the high ground.
Location Notes:
Please park at the back of the cafe. The Potting Shed serves delicious food. Option to go in after the walk for refreshments.
