- This is another video in my series “ Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the villages of Chawton & Farringdon in North Hampshire and undertake a 4 mile circular walk.
I park my car, for free, in the centre of Chawton directly opposite my first destination - Chawton Cottage (once the home of one of the village's most famous residents - Jane Austen). I take a stroll through the village, passing by one of the oldest houses in Hampshire, and make my way to church of St Nicholas (which has a statute of Jane Austen outside).
After a quick look at the outside of Chawton House (once the home of Jane Austen's brother), I continue South through Chawton Park to Farringdon. Here I take another little exploration through this very pretty village, checking out the church, a lovely village garden with wild flowers and the extraordinary building known as Massey's Folly.
I then head West, crossing the A32, and follow the line of the old Meon Valley disused railway back to Chawton. Along the way way I explore something connected to a Cadbury's Milk Tray advert (you will need to watch the video the find out about that!).
My journey ends back at Chawton for light refreshments at the village pub.

Thanks Roger. You never know what little gems crop up when you start digging around in the research for these walks!
Done this walk myself I love it 😊
It is such a lovely part of the county.
I live in Farringdon and it was lovely to see ‘my patch’ on one of your walks - The Greyfriar pub is wonderful, a warm welcome and lovely food - and I learned something new, I never knew about the Milk Tray advert being filmed here, I remember seeing it as a child on the tv. Thanks for another lovely walk x
What a lovely village to live in. Thank you for watching.
A very interesting engaging walk. Glad I came across your channel.

Wonderful walk, I so enjoy your videos. Full of positive vibes and energy.
Thanks for your kind comment Tina and indeed thank you for watching.
Wow yes I remember the add how amazing the bridge
Great that it is still there!
Some very interesting history I had no idea of Dave .Now fess up that you were the original Milk Tray Man 😉👍🍫🍱
I certainly couldn't manage the jump off the bridge these days!
As soon as I saw Jane Austin’s house, I thought “That looks like an old pub”. I loved the way Logan was looking up at Janes statue. Is he interested in that sort of thing? You always find a couple of horse riders. Are they members of your fan club? Looks like the same ones each time. Ha ha..interesting story regarding Cadbury’s Milk Tray ad. I knew they kept the line open to Farringdon for a number of years in order to serve some sort of depot (although I can’t remember what it was). Lovely walk Dave. Nice to see the lovely warm sunshine in late November.
I think Logan thought that the statue was trying to give him food! Thanks for watching, Lionel.
Just been pointed towards your channel 😍
Welcome to the channel Bonny. Hope you get to enjoy the future videos in the series. :)
I know Alton and Chawton very well
It is a pretty area around there for sure.
3:21 I believe if that’s the old blacksmith’s cottage it dates back to before 1000 AD and within the forge is a brick with a date / year marking showing something like 990AD…
thanks for the information. There is indeed a building called "The Old Forge" next to that cottage.
A very informative and interesting video. I have been to Jane Austen's House twice both on coach trips as I do not drive. I never have enough time to visit Chawton House which I would love to do. Maybe when public transport travel is a bit easier I should look into walking the Writer's Way. Is the main road safe to cross - i.e is there a bridge or underpass or is it a mad sprint through the traffic? Thanks for video - I came to it via Kevin's rambles. Logan looks like he loves to pose for photos!
Thanks Jean - and welcome to the channel! There was no bridge or underpass when I crossed the A32 towards the end of the walk. It is a busy road but it is very straight where the crossing is so I was able to see both ways easily and had time to cross (when it was clear) without having to dash. Thank you for watching.
Thanks Carlos.
