Lovely woodland area. To walk around the whole area takes a good couple of hours, ideal if you want a long walk or jog with nice scenery.

One of my endurance run route is via HILL HEAD. It is one of the most amazing places to visit. Route I follow is "Locks Heath -> Holly Hill -> Costal Route which takes me to -> Meon Shore -> Titchfield Haven-> Hill Head -> Lee On Solent -> Fareham -> Back to Locks Heath." Beauty of these places can't be explained in words. Hill Head have ample of sitting area with nice wooden clean benches. Area is clean , ample of parking. If you want to dine out and take a look on beach , make sure to visit "The Osborne View". Hill Head have much better photogenic views of surfers and beach. Massive lawns of Hill Head are perfect for picnic with family, flying kites and bar-be-que. In summers I have spend a solo night on Hill Head in my tent and with bar-be-que and it was amazing. If you want to explore more of hidden gem in area near by you can walk towards "Rising Sun" pub by the beach which joins Titchfield Haven to Warsash Shore. On the way you will see amazing hills which are easy to climb and view from top is amazing on sunny days. I will rate it a 3 km walk (one way) from Hill Head. Overall I love whole route of 32.5 Km which I mentioned above. However whole route can be divided into as short or as long you want. Amazing place and a must visit. Few places you can park your car and trust me , you will always find a place even in the busiest summers though you might need to walk a bit.

Had great time exploring Titchfield Abbey. Parking was insider and it was free, such a beautiful place, we went on a sunny weekend day and it was still not busy at all, few dog walkers and other visitors, but felt like really hidden gemstone in this area. Went to the pub that is just opposite the abbey - brilliant!! Totally recommend A++++
