WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE at MEONSTOKE, EXTON & CORHAMPTON (SOUTH DOWNS NATIONAL PARK) [4K] 

This is another video in my series “Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the village of Meonstoke (12 miles North of Fareham) and explore the surrounding area.
My 5.5 mile circular walk starts & finishes at the Meon Hall - the village hall on the outskirts of the village itself. I start off by following footpaths across fields towards my first destination - Old Winchester Hill. After a fairly steep ascent of the hill, through a nature reserve, I get to enjoy the magnificent Iron Age Hill fort at the top with 360 degree views across the countryside.
I descend the hill through some woods before following the South Downs Way in a Westerly direction, back over the disused Meon Valley Railway line and over the River Meon.
My next destination is the tiny village of Exton with it's fine church & pub before crossing the River Meon again to the next settlement - Corhampton - where I get to see an enchanting Saxon church.
I finally make it back to Meonstoke which has a pretty church (one of the most photographed churches in Hampshire), village green and welcoming pub.
