Pilot Hill and Sandpits Down Panoramic Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

One of the best sections of the Wayfarers Walk with a decent singletrack. Some sections are heavily rutted, too much so for my limited skills. Added interest with Bluebells carpeting the woods during May.

The Jack Russell Inn

The Jack Russel Inn is nestled in a little hamlet in Hampshire and serves up a daily dose of delicious food and drink. It has a lovely outdoor seating area where you can watch the local deers grazing on the green. A wonderful place to start or finish a walk.

The Jack Russell II

Lovely spot for lunch on a summer’s day ride. The fish and chips was great, as is the beer garden. There’s also a bike rack area to keep your ride secure
