Farley Mount and Parnholt Circular - Bluebells walk

We will start this walk from the car park near Farley Mount where we will pass the mount (the pyramid shaped folly that gives the park its name).
Farley Mount Monument is named after the famous monument to a horse, named "Beware Chalk Pit", which carried its owner to a racing victory in 1734, a year after having fallen into a chalk pit whilst out fox-hunting.

Farley Mount is a large area of beautiful downland and woodland with fine views over central Hampshire and we will be also walking across Parnholt Wood where hopefully we will be on time to see plenty of bluebells.

At the end of the walk for those who wish can enjoy a well-deserved treat at the Beechcroft Farm Shop & Tea Barn.

This walk should take us between 2:30-3:00 hours, covering around 6 miles (10km).
Please bear in mind that these times are flexible depending on short breaks and pace.

**As usual there will be a small charge of £2.00 (cash) per head per person for this walk on the day.**

Meet at 09:45 in the car park, ready to leave at 10:00.
