WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE at ROTHERWICK (4K)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- In this episode of my series “Walks in Hampshire”, I take a walk in & around the village of Rotherwick which is located 7 miles North East of Basingstoke. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I park my car by the church and start my 4 mile circular walk with a wander through the village, beginning at the Western end with a delightful pond and enchanting village green. After a quick look at the Church at Rotherwick. I pass a couple of pubs - The Coach & Horses (closed on Mondays) & The Falcon (closed on Mondays & Tuesdays) - and a magnificent village hall.
I then head South out into the countryside along a path through stubble fields towards Runten's Farm, where I join the Brenda Parker Way and head East. After passing a large fishing lake & crossing a minor road, I continue through woodland until I join another footpath which takes me Northwards through Street End Copse.
Crossing Cowfold Lane, I continue North on the Eastern side of Rotherwick begore heading West through Wedman's Farm and on to the tiny hamlet of Lyde Green. I continue down Mill Lane and then start my homeward leg back to the village, keeping Winnells Copse on my left & open fields on my right.
After crossing another minor road, my final section takes me along a footpath through a field back to the church & my car.

Thank you William. I hope that you enjoy the future videos in the series. Thanks for watching.
What a charming village and church. Walking is such a wonderful experience when you have such beauty to look at . Gorgeous day ☀️ Thanks Dave and Logan.
Thank you Melissa. It was very warm that day!
@@DaveFordit looked like it might have been a little warm Dave but you both did well. Have a wonderful weekend Dave☀️
Thanks Dave, most enjoyable on such a glorious day !
Thank you Gareth. The weather certainly added to the enjoyment of the walk that day for sure.
Thoroughly enjoyed your lovely video with the sunshine and blue sky and great walk. Thankyou for posting, most enjoyable.
Thank you Stephen. Memories of slightly warmer days!
It looked like a nice shady walk with not too much ascent. Shame about the lack of refreshment opportunities along the way but the village hall is an awesome piece of architecture. Thank you for taking us along with you and Logan.
Thanks Jean. Yes, a fairly flat route and the shade in the woods was welcome on what was a fairly warm day.
enchanting village lovely stroll thru the countryside
Thank you Cath. Rotherwick is such a pretty village.
@@DaveFordhave you been to Somerset to do a walk at Burrow Mump and the village down the hillside there?
@@cathpeterson1944 I haven't been there - one for the list for next year?
@@DaveFord that would be nice to see, yes put this one on your list for 2024
The only word I can think to describe that is - delightful! How lovely was that! That walk would suit me very nicely. Sadly, being in Australia, I cannot do it, but thanks so very much for letting us come along with you. Absolutely loved it!
Thank you Kate & indeed thanks for watching.
This one is a bit far away for us to tackle, but lovely to watch, especially on a rainy day when we're not intending to go out and about outselves!
Thank you Pauline. A memory of warmer days!
Hi Dave I really do recommend the coach and horses lovely pub plus its dog friendly too great food i used to live not to far away from Rotherwick brilliant video as usual so very enjoyable all the very best to you.
Thank you Craig. The Coach & Horses certainly looked inviting - I shall have to return to Rotherwick soon!
Excellent video as usual Dave...
Sadly the Falcon is no more, well at least not as a pub... so sadly only one pub now.
I have walked that path from the village across the fields and into Hook, where I live.. Great spot to fly my drone... There was once a village shop close to the village pond, which we would cycle to from Hound Green in Mattingley.
The fishing lakes were abandoned some time ago as far as I recall.
Some fantastic countryside in this area, most of which I have walked many times.
As kid, teenager, you could walk almost everywhere... You should walk down that road past the Old Fox, finally coming to Hartley Mill, where you can cross the river, and walk along the River Loddon.
Anyway, great to see another local area on your list of videos....can't wait for the summer to return.
@@andrewlee6152 Thank you for the background information of the village Andrew. Sorry to learn about The Falcon - a sign of the times I fear. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful Dave, thank you for sharing. Some amazing buildings, I remember playing golf at Tylney Park years ago 😊
Thank you. It is such a beautiful part of the county around there.
Another lovely video.... thankyou. I'm making turkey gobbler for my 16yr old saluki.... I made extra for Logan. Perhaps he could teach Merlyn to go blackberrying 😊😊😊
Thank you. Turkey Gobbler - well that sounds interesting! Logan loves chicken!
Great Dave. What could be better, an English summers day in our wonderful countryside and you can't beat an English village Pub 🤪
Thank you Geoff. Two lovely pubs - I am looking forward to visiting the village again to check them out!
Especially when it's closed! See above...
Hello Dave. Such a lovely area and on a beautiful day. I fear you must have almost run out of those warm sunny days. The weather hasn't been very good since the beginning of October. But I daresay you will still manage to find the odd one or two for you and Logan to enjoy.
I just love the seasons in this country Lionel. Logan & I have just finished filming a couple of "Autumn Walks" - sunshine & some amazing colours in woodland.
Amazing walk through the village and wonderful wooded trails and beautiful views
Thank you Keith. :)
Lovely walk Dave. thanks for producing it. I'll watch it several times this coming week to chill out with... Those edges of the field were nice and spacious.. But do you by any chance know if farmers are obliged to give a space of a few feet around the edges of their fields from where the fence is to where they start to plow the soil ? I wasn't sure if it's an old rule ... I know you're on official footpaths where you were walking so there would be a gap there. I figured you would be the one to know such a question anyway.
Thank you David. I know that if there is a public right of way on the perimeter of a field then the land owner has to ensure that it is not obstructed & kept clear. I believe that there are some regulations & guidance regarding field margins -especially if the land is part of an Agri environmental scheme (eg HLS) - and, from what I read from time to time, they seem to change regularly.
@@DaveFord Thanks for that info Dave.. Some farmers are really good. I don't think some others like the public on their land. I just read an interesting article in farmers weekly on line after I messaged you.. It said if crops aren't growing the public can walk across a field. Not sure if that was in Scotland though Lol. I'd better check it out ... thanks for the reply Dave.
They planned that well in the village to close both pubs the same day! 😝Most inconsiderate and what about his lordship's crisps? Dear oh dear!!!🦮
Yes indeed. Poor planning on my part I fear. Logan didn't speak to me on the way home!
