Countryside footpaths, bridleways and byways through woods and across arable fields, usually wide and well-trodden. Can be soft after rain, the Hook end (around Gaine's Wood and Hook Common) is exceptionally wet and boggy and where it is best to skirt around the access land. One field path is not visible on the ground. The Great Park in the middle is a highlight, with bluebells in flower in spring.

Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.

Warnings: The route crosses a field with a small herd of Highland cattle about 2km before Alton. The Hook Common area is exceptionally wet and boggy.
