There is a bridleway here, even though it's been dug up! It is to be rerouted to the East of the previous one, looks like it needs some wearing in😃

Great village shop (plus Post Office) staffed mainly by volunteers, next to a rec. Everything you might need plus a small café with Moonroast coffee via a self-serve machine and a good variety of cakes. Two small indoor tables and outdoor seating on decking in good weather

The Queen Inn in Dummer, great atmosphere, lovely food, and if you don’t manage to stop here, you would’ve missed out on one of Hampshire’s traditional, character pubs.
