The Meon Valley trail wends its way through around thirty miles of Hampshire countryside on a disused railway branch line that ran from Alton to Knowle until Mr Beeching closed it down in the 1960’s. It’s now a lovely walk used as a footpath, cycle and bridle path. On Sunday my daughter and I walked for an hour giving baby Scarlett some fresh air.

There is an abundance of flora and fauna, we saw

a privet hawk moth which grows to 85mm and had a vicious looking horn on its rear end.

a Harlequin ladybird, an invasive variety that is a predator to our native ones

and a common frog.

The walk was lovely, come along with me.

Enjoy a ride

Pick some nuts

and plan your next walk

I hope you enjoyed it!
