WALKS IN SUSSEX & HAMPSHIRE at CHAPEL COMMON & THE FOLEY ESTATE (SOUTH DOWNS NATIONAL PARK)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2023
- In this episode of my series “ Walks in Sussex” (although the walk crosses into Hampshire!), I take a 5 mile circular walk starting & finishing at Chapel Common which is located 1 mile South West of Liphook & 5 miles North Eat of Petersfield. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I park my car in a road in Langley Wood (just off the B2070) and initially head South East across Chapel Common to join part of the Serpent trail. I then take a small detour South, crossing the B2070, to explore a couple of churches - Tuxlith Chapel (now a redundant church) & right next to it, St Lukes church (still very much in use today).
I re-cross the B2070 back on to chapel Common and head North East, past Liphook Golf Club and over the railway line to join the Shipwrights Way which takes me into the Foley Estate.
My route takes me through the Estate, passing the splendid statue of Lord Strathnairn and some pretty lakes, to follow the Sussex Border Path around to the Forest Mere Health Spa where there is the most delightful lake to see.
I then head South, back under the railway line and on to Chapel Common leg back to my car.
This walk is one the walks in the excellent book “The South Downs - A Dog Walker's Guide”by Tracey Gower, which I highly recommend.
NB: I should have removed my cap when I was in the church - please accept my apologies for the oversight.

Loved both churches and all the history. The new church is beautiful. As always, a great day for a walk. You two had the walk to yourself, what a beautiful walk Thank you both.
Thanks Lavinia. It really was quite peaceful around there.
Good evening Dave yet another fantastic video so very enjoyable interesting history plus you had excellent weather looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Craig. Looking forward to some warmer weather already!
Stunning countryside walk with amazing beauty
Many thanks Keith.
Lovely walk Dave. Many thanks for taking me along.
Thank you Robert. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
A lovely walk which I'm fortunate to be able to do often as it is close by for me. Thanks for all your walks - I do enjoy them very much.
Thanks Susan. What a lovely area to have close by for walking for you. Thank you for watching.
Another great walk, Dave. Many thanks!
Thank you Jim. :)
Dave this was a beautiful walk all the way around. Gorgeous lake and scenery. The churches are always so interesting and simply beautiful and I would love to see them in person one day.England has the most amazing churches . Thank you and Logan for showing us such wonderful places that we might not get to see otherwise. 👏🏻
Thank you Melissa. That lake really was something special wasn't it.
@@DaveFord it sure was Dave.☀️
That's one fantastic statue Dave, nothing like that on my local patch! You were blessed with lovely weather yet again, you know what they say about the righteous. And still no pint and crisps to finish, Logan'll be downing tools if you're not careful!
Yes, i think that Logan felt a bit "short changed" on that one!
Thank you, that was a lovely walk Dave, quite magical in parts. I was interested in the bit about the Midland Bank as I too used to work there for several years in the 60's and 70's.
Thanks Angela. Sadly, the Banking industry isn't quite what it used to be!
Very nice, thanks!
Thank you Hannu.
Great weather for walking. Those days seem a long way off now. Loved both the churches. I thought at first, the older one was a cottage, but what I thought was a chimney, turned out be the bell tower.
Hopefully some warmer weather is not too far away!
Stunningly beautiful - that lake and the last sunken path were gorgeous. Personally I don't like golf courses very much - they are the Stepford wives vibe of the countryside like some weird pastiche of natural scenery. Still Logan could chase golf balls instead of squirrels!
Yes, I was quite taken by that lake - it looked amazing in the sunshine.
Great video thanks dave
Thank you Lee. Glad you enjoyed it.
My mum played a part in the film as she lived in Petersfield. Were there cattle on Chapel Common. Looks like a lovely walk, might have to do it with my daughter some time.
Great that you have a family connection there Diana. Did you work with me many years ago in Petersfield?
I believe I did, in this vlog you mentioned that you worked at Midland/HSBC. I am not sure exactly when, can you remember the names of anyone else who worked with you in Petersfield.
@@dianadimmock5758 Frances Butler, Gail Harvey, Karen Lance, Ian Hine .... there was quite a gang of us around the same age. Good times ... sadly a long time ago now!
Yes a very long time ago. The HSBC in Petersfield is now closed😩which I found quite sad. does the names Pete Duffield ring a bell? I remember him being a laugh.
Hi, what distance is this walk please? Looks fairly level and unchallenging
Hi Jan. It is about 5 miles - ish. Pretty much all on the flat and, from memory, not too muddy.
Where did you park your car at langley Court please Dave, on the road or is there a car park. Might try this walk tomorrow.
There was a small parking area, off the road, near the entrance to Langley Court & the Common. Alternatively there is parking at Tuxlith Chapel.
Very kind, thank you
