Hurstbourne Tarrant to St Mary Bourne

In Hurstbourne Tarrant the path runs through the village, crosses the valley and heads steeply uphill to the copses of Wallop Hill Down where you can look back for a postcard view of the village nestling below.

Gently descend past Stokehill Farm to St Mary Bourne which straggles alongside the course of the Bourne Rivulet where the 12th century church contains several treasures.

Look downstream for the huge nine-arch viaduct at Hurstbourne Priors and the numerous watercress beds.
