Walking Group

The Walking Group is open to all PHSG members and has been in existence since 1997. It aims to develop wellbeing both physically and mentally by being outside in the natural environment and to promote new friendships and camaraderie.

If you would like any further information or fancy joining a walk, please get in touch by selecting the ‘Walking Group’ option on the Contact Us page

Walks are held every 10 days on alternate Wednesdays and Saturdays and are organised by Walking Group members who endeavour to source walks that suit all the walking members requirements.

Each walk allows for those who are able to walk up to 3 miles at a standard pace and also for those who prefer to walk around 1 mile at a slower pace.

The walks do not involve steep hills or tricky stiles and help is always at hand if required. Walking is at a pace that allows time to stop to admire views, observe the wonders of nature and enjoy bird song.

Lunch afterwards at a nearby pub adds a bit of incentive!

NEXT WALK – Wednesday 20th May 10:30am

Rockford Common

The next walk is around Rockford Common. Take the A31 to Ringwood and take the exit towards Salisbury on the A338. In a about 2 miles turn right into Ellingham Drove. Follow the road to  a tee junction where it joins the Linwood to Poulner Road. Turn left and at the next junction with a grass island in the road turn right into a cul-de-sac. The car park is just up the hill on the left (Grid Ref  SU163083). The walk is just under 3 miles on gravel tracks and grassland and has a few quite steep short inclines, the last one going down needs care.

Plese advise re your lunch booking in good time.
