The Exton and Buriton walk boasts gorgeous views of the coast line, Butser Hill, and South Downs National Park.

Beginning at the car park, embark on your walk and stroll through Meonstoke, where the 13th Century Church of St Peter and St Paul stand at the entrance. Continuing on, you will walk along a stream that borders cattle fields and you will come across an old railway from which you can see views of Old Winchester Hill.

Moving on, you will walk along the border of the Old Winchester Nature Reserve, where you will descend down to White Wool Farms and Meon Springs.
