POLITICS

Wide and Easy Tarrant Valley circular - 11.5 miles (or 6.5 miles with a simple shortcut) Really easy going route with lots of wide views interspersed with beautiful woodland. We walked this two weeks ago - in late Spring the carpets of celandines, bluebells and wood anemones are an absolute picture. It’s mostly wide bridleways or farm tracks, with very little in the way of map reading required. Out of the woodlands the route enjoys expansive views on open chalk downland - in the summer this route gets HOT, so do take plenty of water! For a shorter 6.5 mile route, simply use the Jubilee Trail from Handcock’s Bottom to Tarrant Gunville, and then turn left to follow the path parallel to the road towards Stubhampton.

Take a Hike... The routes we feature have always been created and walked recently by ourselves, so you know you can trust them - we aim for unpopulated routes with as little road and as many views as possible! You can always see the route and follow it yourself via the free Outdoor Active app see all our routes here.
