Local Dog Walks

A Splash Along The River Arle
A Great Little Walk Along The Side Of The River Arle, A Famous Chalk Stream That Is Renowned For Its Watercress Beds. There's Even A Fab Bench Where You Can Make New Friends! There Are Numerous Paths One Can Take To Extend The Walk From My Recommended Start Point. See Website Link For Details Of The Routes Available. Alresford Rugby Football Club Park Mount Lancashire 1.54 miles Park In The (Free) Car Park For Alresford Rugby Club (Signposted). Map Pin Shows Exact Location. Walk Down The Lefthand Side Of The Rugby Club Building (The Footpath Is Evident) To Reach The Recreation Ground, Then Continue Straight On Down A Gentle Slope To Reach The River Arle. Now Turn Right (But You Can Go Left!). Alternatively Park On The Roadside In 'The Dean'.

Cheesefoot Head
There Is A Fairly Small Car Park On A272 But I've Never Stopped There And Been Unable To Park. There Are Several Walks Around This Area But I Prefer To Cross The Road Onto The South Downs Way But A Nice 2 Mile Walk Which I Have Included Photos Of Goes Straight Across Down Instead Of Curving Right After The First Field. It's A Little Less Muddy Than The South Downs Walk That Way Which Is Better In Spring/Summer.
