Hartley Wespall

A walk of about 3.4 miles through water meadows and copses in the valley of the Loddon and Lyde rivers to the west of Rotherwick. The walk will start near Mill Farm (RG27 0BQ) on Mill Lane, Hartley Westpall (SU696573). There is room for 2/3 small cars on a gravel layby at the start, with space for several more cars a little to the north where the Brenda Parker Way meets Mill Lane, under some pylons and cabling. The route is mostly flat, with 3 stiles. After the walk we will drive along Mill Lane to Frog Lane and then turn left into The Street, Rotherwick for lunch at the Coach and Horses. If you would like to eat at the pub afterwards, please contact us by the evening of Monday 17th October
