Tipps für Reisende

Walking from the Doorstep
We have some fabulous walks from the doorstep of The Garden Studio.
The Garden Studio is very close to where the River Test rises. If you would like to walk towards the source of the river in Ashe, I recommend bringing wellies as you may need to wade through shallow water on the footpath / through the ford to get there.
There are lots of footpaths and bridleways nearby and you are in for a treat! There are walking maps in The Garden Studio for inspiration. You could also download the following apps for ideas:
AllTrails
Ordinance Survey

Wellies for Walking
Do pack wellies for walking down by the River Test. Often, when the river is high, you will need them!
