Petersfield to Liphook - Hampshire's delights
**SUMMARY (all info is approximate!)**
**Distance**: 21km (13 miles)
**Duration**: 6-7 hours walking
**Grade**: Moderate
**HIGHLIGHTS**
* great views from Shoulder of Mutton Hill
* forests coming into bloom
* bluebells, spring flowers
* forlorn paths
* weird and wonderful moreland on Longmore Common
* Sussex Border Path & budding rhododendrons,
* country pubs for refreshments.
We'll start our walk in Petersfield and head north to follow part of the 34 km (21 mile) Hangers Way - a long distance path less travelled within an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The countryside around here is unspoilt and forlorn, and we'll meet only a few locals out for a walk with their dogs. In our first hour, we will be rewarded with fantastic views from Shoulder of Mutton Hill as we continue through forested slopes and over open fields towards Liss and then onto Liphook via a nice lunchtime pub stop (for drinks only).
After Liss, we will walk down Shipwrights Way to Longmore and Weavers Down, an army managed access land which is eerily remote and wild with a range of different flora, shrubs and trees. We will then walk on the Sussex Border Path and continue to Liphook, where we will reward ourselves with a pub stop.
This will be English countryside in its quintessential beauty and at its best – with budding wild flowers and maybe some wild rhododendrons - as well experiencing Longmore Common which feels like walking over Scottish moreland.

🌷 Фестиваль тюльпанов и колокольчики
✨ Тур в Зачарованный лес, где когда-то Кристофер Робин водил дружбу с медвежонком, который всегда «немного того, на диете». **Ashdown Forest** — это не просто зелёный массив в графстве Восточный Суссекс. Это место, где стирается грань между вымыслом и реальностью, где каждый поворот тропинки может вывести к мостику, с которого Винни-Пух и Пятачок бросали палочки, соревнуясь в знаменитой игре «Пустяки». Этот древний лес хранит память о веках. Когда-то здесь звучали рога королевской охоты: ещё в XIII веке лес обнесли частоколом, чтобы монархи и знать могли преследовать оленей. Генрих VIII, охотясь в этих угодьях, приезжал в соседний замок Hever ухаживать за Анной Болейн. Но главное чудо ждёт вас не в истории, а в самом пейзаже. В конце апреля лес начинает пробуждаться особенно трепетно. Воздух прозрачен и свеж, а среди прошлогодней листвы и молодой зелени, в тенистых и влажных уголках, уже появляются первые **лесные колокольчики**.
💐А после того, как вы надышитесь смоляным воздухом и тишиной веков, мы перенесёмся в совершенно иной мир — мир цвета и аромата. Всего в нескольких милях отсюда раскинулась **ферма Tulleys**, где апрель бушует яркими красками из более чем **полутора миллионов тюльпанов**. Здесь, на знаменитом фестивале тюльпанов, цветут более 100 различных сортов — алые, жёлтые, розовые, фиолетовые, почти чёрные тюльпаны тянутся к солнцу, создавая ковёр такой интенсивности, что глазам не верится. Над полями возвышается 33-метровое колесо обозрения — поднимитесь на нём, и перед вами откроется фантастическая панорама: разноцветные полосы тюльпанов, уходящие к самому горизонту, словно сам Весенний художник опрокинул сюда все свои краски. А воздух наполнен не только сладковатым ароматом цветов, но и живой музыкой — по тюльпановым тропам бродят уличные музыканты, даря каждому уголку полей свою неповторимую мелодию. Местные жители называют Tulleys «цветущим великолепием» — и действительно, когда бродишь среди этих сотен тысяч бутонов под аккомпанемент акустической гитары, кажется, что попал на полотно импрессиониста, которое ожило и зазвучало. Вы сможете вдыхать тонкий запах весны, делать снимки, попробовать настоящие голландские лакомства и даже собрать свой собственный букет, чтобы увезти частицу этого праздника с собой.
Это путешествие — не просто прогулка. Это возможность за один день прикоснуться к вечности и к мимолётной, но такой прекрасной весне!

We begin in the historic village of **Otford**, occupied for at least 3,000 years. Through the ages, it has been home to Iron Age farmers, Romans, royalty and archbishops. From here our route leads into the tranquil woods and grasslands of the Kentish countryside, reaching **Shoreham** before following the **Darent Valley Path** into the heart of the valley.
The trail takes us into the beautiful **Lullingstone Country Park**, internationally important for its collection of ancient trees. Beech, ash, oak, sweet chestnut and hornbeam all thrive here, with some specimens thought to be over 800 years old. Emerging from the woodland, we arrive at **Lullingstone Castle**, set beside its peaceful lake, before continuing to the site of **Lullingstone Roman Villa** — a rare survival of a Roman estate house first built around 100 AD.
From here we continue through rolling Kent fields, rewarded with views of the impressive **Eynsford Rail Viaduct**, its nine red-brick arches towering 22 metres above the valley floor.
Our hike concludes in the charming village of **Eynsford**, where we explore the evocative ruins of **Eynsford Castle**, a Norman stronghold built in 1088. With its riverside setting, ancient remains and traditional cottages, the village provides a perfect finale to a day steeped in history and countryside beauty.

🥾 **Hike Description**
Our hike begins in the tranquil **Darent Valley**, following the Darent Valley Path into the historic village of **Otford**. Here we encounter remarkable landmarks including the quirky duck house — Britain’s smallest Grade II listed building — and the evocative ruins of **Otford Palace**, once a Tudor residence larger than Hampton Court and known as “the lost palace of Henry VIII.”
From Otford we join the historic **North Downs Way**, tracing part of the medieval **Pilgrims Way** that itself followed an even older Stone Age track. The path leads to **Otford Mount**, where a Bronze Age barrow crowns the ridge and panoramic views stretch across the valley. Continuing onwards, we cross the nature-rich chalk grassland of **Kemsing Down** and pass by **Otford Manor**, high above the valley, before descending through woodland and fields.
Midway, we pause for lunch at a traditional **500-year-old pub**, hidden away in the countryside. Inside, little has changed since the 1960s, giving it a nostalgic charm that feels like stepping back in time. With its rustic character, it makes for a unique and memorable break on our journey.
Our adventure ends at a **family-owned vineyard**, where you can sample local Kentish wines with an optional extra - tasting flight and stone-baked pizza. Surrounded by vines and rolling hills, this picturesque stop — complete with a boutique shop selling locally produced gifts — is the perfect finale to a day exploring Kent’s landscapes, history and hidden gems.

Day trip by coach - Stonehenge, Avebury & Uffington White Horse! (NOW FULL)
THE TRIP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST AND I WILL CONTACT YOU IF A PLACE BECOMES AVAILABLE.
Come along on Saturday 25th April for a coach trip to the ancient sites of Stonehenge, Avebury and Uffington White Horse!
**About the day**
We are travelling by coach to visit some of England's oldest & mystical sites, two in Wiltshire and one in Oxfordshire.
**Stonehenge**
Stonehenge started to be built in 3100BC and is today one of the most famous sites in the world. At the site, I will tell you more about Stonehenge and why its there.
Options when we arrive at Stonehenge:
* pay to take the mini-bus down the road to view it close up, about 4 metres away (it costs £25 to do this, pay when you arrive). If you are an English Heritage or National Trust member its free to get the mini-bus.
* The rest of us will walk the 1 mile down the road and view it from the wire fence (about 5 or 6 metres away) for free.
**Avebury**
Avebury is about 20 miles north of Stonehenge, it dates to about 2800BC and is the largest stone circle in Europe. Its free to walk on the site, which covers over 281 acres and you can even touch the stones! I will guide you round the site telling your about the stones. Its free to view the stones.
**Uffington White Horse**
Uffington White Horse is a huge chalk drawing on the top of a hill which dates back to 900BC. It was probably a tribal symbol, as the remains of Uffington Fort lies behind it. The site is the highest point in Oxfordshire and gives stunning views across the countryside. I will tell you more about the site when we are there. Its free to view the horse.
**Coach seating**
* If you wish to reserve a seat on the coach in advance, after you pay please look at the seating plan in the photos [here](https://www.meetup.com/coach-day-trips-out-of-london/photos/35902731/533405713/) and then email me - [general@cultureseekers.org](http://general@cultureseekers.org), with the seat number/s you wish to reserve. Its first come first served.
* The seat you sit on when you board the coach is yours for the day. If you wish to change seats on the coach during the day, you will need to get permission from the individual who is seated there.
**Cost**
Cost is £33 per person.
After you RSVP:

A Grand Day in London
This is a series of two walks taken from the Hidden London Walks book, both are 2 miles long and cover looks at things hidden in plain sight.
First starts outside Tower Hill Station exit where we will be Seething, Mincing and Staining our way to St Pauls.
The second starts and ends at St Pauls and will take us through Blood, Guts and Body Snatchers.
Ashridge Bluebells (14 or 11 miles)
Edward II was born this day in 1284. Roger Mortimer was born this day in 1287. Not only did King Edward & Mortimer share the same birthday, both their fates lay with "*the beauty of beauties...in the kingdom if not in all Europe*" - Isabella of France.
While Isabella acted out her role as dutiful wife to Edward at King's Langley, he proffered the nearby castle at Berkhamsted to his preferred favourite, Piers Gaveston.
From those impressive castle ruins, this walk heads into the Ashridge woods, which house among the most romantic expanses of bluebells. Then the Grand Union canal takes us to King's Langley, historic seat of the Plantagenets.
Travelling in France, Isabella found solace in Mortimer. After she returned with Mortimer triumphant, and Edward found himself duly deposed, the castle from where we start became home for her son John of Eltham.
Outward Travel: Take the train departing 9.54 AM from London Euston to BERKHAMSTED. With Groupsave or Network Card an off peak day single is £7.30. Return from KING'S LANGLEY to London is £5.75. So total return £13.05 with Groupsave or Network card.
Those wanting a shorter walk can finish at earlier stations Hemel Hempstead or Apsley.
Beforehand from 9.30 AM the organizer will be easy to spot near the ticket office in the station wearing yellow to act as a focal point for people arranging group tickets.
Walk start: 10.30 AM from Berkhamsted rail station.
Bring a packed lunch. Cafe stop. Pub stop for drinks.
*How to join?*
* The walk is entirely free of charge;
* You only arrange for your own travel and pub expenses;
* Understand our terms and conditions below (the "IMPORTANT" part);
* Understand how to stay safe outdoors, as you will be responsible for yourself. See our quick safety tips:
http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/
*What to bring*
* Plenty of water, 1-2 litres recommended
* Enough snacks and packed lunch to keep you energized along the walk
* Extra snacks and an extra packed lunch just in case
* Rainproof (ideally waterproof) clothing, sturdy shoes/boots you don't mind getting muddy
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section!
IMPORTANT
Please bear in mind this is a free of charge, self-guided trip with a hobby group. It is not organized by a business nor any entity with commercial purposes.
Any trip details, travel advice, route planning, instructions and other content in our group merely represent our shared personal knowledge, research and suggestions as outdoor enthusiasts. As this is no business, there is no "product", "service" or "package" and also no "tour guide", "operator" or "walk leader".
Each participant is responsible for their own safety. Even if some of us are very experienced walking outdoors, nobody assumes responsibility for any kind of injury, damage or loss that may happen.
Despite this, we take extreme precautions and all trips we plan are very safe, fun, highly educational and popular. Our experienced members volunteer their time and effort to shape a pleasant and quality adventure for everyone :-)
By participating you acknowledge and agree with this disclaimer.
Here are our tips on staying safe during outdoor trips:
http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/
TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, INSURANCE
Although we provide detailed suggestions, each participant is expected to arrange their own travel - this gives everyone the freedom and choice. Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered.
As most of our trips are confirmed or postponed very close to the event date - heavily depending on the weather forecasts - we advise not to buy this until the last minute. People getting tickets from the same station are encouraged to meet early on the day to benefit from discounts such as GroupSave.
