In this episode of my series “Walks in Hampshire”, I take a walk in and around the village of Longparish, which is situated about 4 miles East of Andover. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I park my car by the church and start my five mile circular walk with a wander through the village. Longparish is made up of five small hamlets & I walk along the main street, past the cricket pitch (Longparish Cricket Club was established in 1878), The Plough Inn and a number of pretty thatched cottages.
After visiting the Church of St Nicholas, I head West along the Test Way towards Forton. Sadly I don't get the see any of the river but Forton itself is a quite enchanting hamlet.
Crossing the B3048, I head North over the disused railway line towards Ridgeway Copse which is on the edge of Harewood Forest. At this point, I take a detour to explore the Deadman's Plack Monument (which marks the supposed site where King Edgard killed hos favourite courtier, Aethelwald, in 963AD.
I then retrace my steps and follow The Middleway (a quite country road) back towards Longparish. Along the way, I cross over the disused railway line (over a road bridge) and re-join the Test Way.
My final destination is The Plough back in the village.
