Alton to Petersfield (Hampshire)

Pleasant walk mostly on safe footpaths with nice views; particularly beautiful with lovely views and tranquil woods; very enjoyable. A beautiful but strenuous walk on countryside footpaths, bridleways and byways through woods and across arable fields, within the South Downs National Park. Soft and muddy after rain and with some stiles and the very steep Shoulder of Mutton hill. Within the South Downs National Park, mostly following the Hangers Way (which can be followed all the way between the two towns). Passes Chawton (Jane Austen's house). A water shrew was spotted on one walk.

Selborne Common (National Trust)
Time: 8h (6h walking, 1h30 lunch, 30m break)
Lunch: A tea room at Chawton, roughly midway. Pubs at Upper Farringdon and Hawkley may not always be open, so don't rely on facilities other than at Alton and Petersfield.
