Walk directions

Follow the path opposite The Pineapple across two stiles to the road. Cross over to join a byway, and follow it round to the right and across the common. When it swings sharp left, go straight on along the public footpath, still a track. Take the path to the right of Woodside, bear left at a T-junction (signed 'Permitted Bridleway') and follow the path. Where it joins a track, veer off left at a waymark, following the field-edge path. Just past the corner of the field veer to your right and follow a narrow path (this may be overgrown). Look for an opening in the trees ahead, cross a bridge, and continue as the path goes down then up, and turns right at a track. At the first junction go right, following the battered old sign 'For visiting (Wasing) church and graveyard only'. (If you reach a tarmac lane you have missed the right turn and will have to go back.)

Pass a kissing gate, take the track, turn left at the bend and cut through the wood. Go through the gate signed 'Private Wasing Estate', and the small complex of buildings known as Wasing Park is directly ahead. Cross a track, go through a kissing gate, then through a field to visit the church via another kissing gate.Return to the drive. Turn right and pass between gate piers and continue ahead at crossroads, over a cattle grid. Follow the drive down to the road beyond a gate and a lodge.

About the area
Hampshire’s varied landscape of hills and heaths, downlands and forests, valleys and coast are without rival in southern England.
