Maximum Shade Walk From Stelling Minnis

Note the earlier than usual start time of 09:30. This circular walk takes advantage of the many woods and shaded lanes in this area. Naturally there are exposed sections but I have tried to keep these to a minimum. Lots of on street parking on the Common. We strike off in an anti-clockwise direction passing the windmill before entering the first wood, Eastleigh Wood. Bring snacks or lunch with you and we will stop to have a break half-way round. Once we complete our walk the Rose and Crown is open all day but does not serve food. Also, the shop does not close until 14:30 on Sundays so eating ice cream on the benches is also an option. .
