Wherwell Chilbolton Trail Walk

About

This 4.7-mile walk takes you through the heart of The Test Valley and along parts of the famous River Test.

Wherwell is one of the most picturesque villages in the Test Valley and boasts some of the finest timber framed thatched cottages in the county. It is situated on the banks of the River Test, famous for its Trout fishing. Wherwell is separated from its neighbouring village of Chilbolton by the River Test and the Chilbolton Cow Common. The Common, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is home to over 100 different plants and grasses, as well as many wild birds. North of Wherwell is Harewood Forest, the largest area of woodland within Hampshire, outside the New Forest. It provides an excellent woodland habitat for wildlife, including roe deer and buzzards
