Breamore
This 5.5 mile (8km) walk starts from the Breamore House Tea Room entrance, takes you through the village, across the common and up through the Breamore Estate to the medieval miz-maze and Breamore House. It includes panoramic views out over the surrounding farmland and woodland.
1.
From the tearoom car park entrance, turn left and follow the road until you see a footpath on the right.
2.
Take the path across the field. At the road, turn left and continue until the houses. There is a small alternative parking space opposite these houses. Take the footpath down the track on the right past the timber framed house.
3.
Follow the path round the cricket green and past the thatched cricket pavilion. Just after the oak tree planted by Breamore school children to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V, turn sharp right and take the footpath off across the fields.
4.
Continue across the fields and cross the first road you come to and continue on the path on the opposite side.
At the second road, turn right and walk a little way until it becomes a bridle path.
5.
Continue on the bridle path for about 2km, climbing gently and admiring the views.
6.
Towards the top is a straight footpath across the fields towards a wood. Take this, watching out for pheasants. At the top, take the bridle path to the right.
A little way along, follow the path that veers to the right up towards a wood at the top of a hill. As you approach the top you will see a bench and a large sign to the Miz-maze. Take this short path into the woods to see the ancient Breamore Miz-maze and read the information board.

Retrace your steps and follow the track down the hill, through the woods.

The Right of Way cuts through the grounds of Breamore House down to the main gate. At the automatic gate, press the green button to open it and join the public road.
