If you love WALX to the pub or WALX with the dog or simply WALX in wild locations we have them all! Whether long, short, tough or gentle we welcome all ages and all levels.

Today`s Walk:

Today we are at Barbury Castle Country Park for a walk down Smeaths ridge and then a walk around the hillfort.

Its undulating but not too hilly. Likely to be muddy especially in places where we have to walk on fields.

This walk is a moderate walk and is open to non-polers. If you would like to try poles please contact me in advance to arrange to borrow some of our strapless activiator poles.

Length and Grade: Around 5 miles - more details to follow

Location: Start at the car park at Barbury Castle Country Park - use the What Three Words to find the car park. Once you reach the top of the hill you turn into the gate on slight right and follow the road around to the car park.

Notes: There are no facilites on this walk so please bring a picnic for a end of walk drink where we can sit and take in the views (weather permitting) or we can drive to a local cafe if preferred.

Location Notes:

The car park is right at the top of the hill and is not well sign posted. At top of hill go right through a barrier and bear to left and then huge car park behind the trees! Free parking. Toilets available (but not always open)
