5 miles at Chilbolton

We set off across Cow Common exiting from the back and walking up around fields, and coming on to excellent panoramic views across the countryside. We cross over the road, through more fields and woodland to the Westover Fishery and then ascending towards Fullerton offering further great views. The fields here have verges of wild flowers which are very attractive.  After a short spell on a quiet lane passing Fullerton, we join the Test Way towards and eventually across the West Down Nature Reserve. We cross the main road to Chilbolton, enter the west side of Cow Common and so back to the pub.

At the time of the recce it was very dry and easy going, with lots of blackberries en route for those so inclined.
