WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE : BREAMORE

This is the first video in my series “Walks in Hampshire” with my Whippet, Logan. In this episode, I explore the area around the village of Breamore.
During the 3.5 mile route, I get to walk close to the Elizabethan Manor of Breamore House, look inside the pretty Saxon Church of St Mary's, explore the unusual maze at the top of a wooded knoll, walk through ancient woodland, enjoy beautiful views over rolling downland and pass by one of the top Stud Farms in the country.
The route of the walk comes from a book - “Hampshire & the New Forest - A Dog Walker's Guide” by Vicky Fletcher - to whom I m grateful.

Thank you. A visit to the house is certainly worth doing.

Another really enjoyable watch. The maze and the views were superb. And to be able to go to a pub afterwards!!

[@DaveFord]

Hopefully it will not be too long before these walks can end with a welcome "light refreshment"!

Hello Dave, another lovely interesting video and Hamlet which so many people pass on the Ringwood- Salisbury road, must take a stroll around there🙂🙂 Thank you for explaining about the barn ‘Straddle Stones’. You see so many of them for sale at reclaimation yards or antique fairs, i often wonder what they were. I read , the tapered Capstone design made them extremely slippery especially if covered in lichen or moss, thus vermin and rats would find these impossible to climb, so suspending a barn on these Capstones made very good sense Dave, very clever thinking 🙂🙂

Thanks Peter. It makes for a lovely walk around that area, especially when the weather is fine. Fiver (my younger dog) & I had "fun" of a different type when we did the Muddy Dog Challenge" at Breamore! ua-cam.com/video/5B0dzPRfYHM/v-deo.html

What a pretty place 🌸

[@DaveFord]

Yes indeed. The village was full of lovely "individual" houses, each with it's own unique style....and so many with a thatched roof.

I’ve added Breamore to my increasing list of places to walk! Thanks Dave and Logan.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Ian. I can recommend The Bat & Ball in Breamore for "light refreshments" after your walk (Ringwwod Forty Niner available!).

Hello Dave. I’ve been to the house and the village (the older part), plus the countryside museum. However, I’ve never walked to the mizmaze. Didn’t know it existed. I recall the church especially the front porch with the bench seats. One day I was there photographing outside the church, when I was forced to take cover from some heavy rain. Being a railway enthusiast, I tend to go to the old station and just beyond that is a beautiful old mill straddling the river Avon. Still a good video though.

[@DaveFord]

I hope to do a walk from Breamore Station to Fordingbridge , along the disused line, that will include exploring some of the WW2 pill boxes in the area (apparently there are quite a few!).

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

@@DaveFord I’d love to join you on that one. The old station has been preserved pretty well and the mill is beautiful.

[@annosborne7365]

Very enjoyable. Lovely to see some sunshine.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Ann. Yes..it has been a very wet & dull Winter. Looking forward to the Spring!

[@thomaswilliams3400]

Are you able to get
onto the mizmaze?

[@DaveFord]

You can get right next to it but there is a fence all the way around it in as a preservation measure so you cannot actually get On to it. The fence isn't that high so the Mizmaze is very visible all the way around. Well worth the uphill walk to get there as it is so unusual & there are great views of the surrounding countryside as well.
