Basingstoke to Bramley
A station-to-station walkHampshireSouth East England
A route of three parts: easy pavement and on-road walking through Bramley and Basingstoke's suburbs, with a more challenging middle section on rural footpaths through woodland that is muddy, rutted, waterlogged and narrow, with open ditches and occasional fallen trees. You need to be sure-footed and brambles and nettles encroach in summer. The medieval parish church at Bramley is worth a short detour.
Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.
Lunch: No facilities in the middle section.
End-of-walk reward: Bramley has shops, a bakery cafe and The Bramley Inn near the station.
Warnings: Cufaude Lane is narrow with surprising amounts of traffic and no pavement, so care is needed. The woodland middle section has open ditches, flooding and fallen trees. Can be muddy.
