Well marked trail with information boards that explain the history. I use a small section in and around Sutton Scotney regularly. Perfect in current climate. Highly recommend.

The Mill Trail is a waymarked walk starting in Whitchurch, Hampshire, and wends its way along the crystal-clear waters of the River Test. A hidden gem in Hampshire, it passes five different historic mills including Whitchurch Silk Mill, a Georgian water mill that still weaves silk fabrics using Victorian machinery, and the Bombay Sapphire Distillery based at Laverstoke Mill.

We hired bikes from our hotel on Sinah Beach and were given a map to follow. It's easy to find the start of the Billy Trail in West Town and we had an absolutely lovely cycle ride along the trail which hugs the west coast of the island right up to the top where you can see the remains of the railway bridge which used to come across from the mainland. The weather was good which was a plus. There are plenty of areas to stop off and admire all the lovely views. We then cycled across the bridge and explored the local area, stopping for a drink at a local pub. Then back down the Billy Trail to the hotel. A great way to spend a sunny afternoon.

This runs from Southampton to Winchester. There are various place to join it. The walk along the river is very pretty. If walking into Winchester you will come across many other places to visit , passing St Catherine's Hill and historic buildings.
6. Home Farm Woodland Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
A 3 mile circular woodland trail exploring Home Farm Wood near the hamlet of Burkham in Hampshire. As the name suggests, the site was once the farm for the local estate of Burkham Manor. Today, it is a nature reserve managed by the Woodland Trust and is a charming combination of open grassland glades and broadleaf woodland. See website/URL for full guide

Wonderful walking up the zig zag. A path that zig zags up a hill. At the top you can walk along the hanger. The zig zag has a bench half way and at top with beautiful views. Car park behind pub with toilets.
8. Castleman Trailway

Reviewed By Makingtime - Ringwood, United Kingdom
This is a lovely walking route. Going east from Ringwood the route goes towards the New Forest although it does come to a halt after less than two miles. Pity about this. There is an information board about the railway heritage. The path extends further to the west but we have only walked about one mile. The path is very relaxing. Not really suitable for cycles due to being narrow n places and a lot of walkers.

I feel privileged to have submitted the Shipwrights Way to Tripadvisor and to be the first to review it. Yes, I’m a fan of this forest to coast route that can be cycled, walked or run. The Shipwrights Way is a 50 mile route which links villages and towns from north east to south Hampshire. The name reflects the use of oak grown at Alice Holt Forest, near Bentley, for Tudor shipbuilding in Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard. The route from the north east starts at Alice Holt Forest, the route passes through Bordon, Liphook, Liss, Petersfield, Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Staunton Country Park, Havant, Hayling Island. It continues to Portsmouth via the ferry, finishing at the Historic Dockyard. You can start at either end, we started at the dockyard and cycled the route there and back over two days. There are good cafes in Liss to stop for lunch and we found a bed for the night in a pub at the end of the route without pre-booking (but it was a week day in September). Much off the route is off-road, using rights of way and permissive paths. We had to carry our bikes over one bridge. Signage is good, however, we did need to refer to Google maps as an aid a few times. The route has been divided into 12 sections by the people at Visit Hampshire. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
