Alverstoke Motte

After a short drive to the River Alver Country Park, we are happy to be walking on grass and in the fresh air. There are several relatively short circular walks here which we combine to make a pleasant few hours of walking. The Little Woodham 17th century re-enactment village is closed blue to Covid. We carry on through the Nature Reserve and aroud Noah's Lake, where there are lots of water fowl. Down and across Junkett Bottom and Sandhill, a former refuse tip with views across The Solent to the Isle of Wight, before going through the Browndown MoD site and its gorse vegetation.

Next there was another short drive to Lee-on-the-Solent, a seafront town on the coast of The Solent with shingle beaches. Lots of people doing seaside stuff - paddling, swimming, sailing etc. The ice cream was well deserved!

Back via Stokes Bay, Clayhall to Gosport. The beers were very well deserved!Read more
