About Manor Farm
A historic working farm set in a scenic landscape of farmland and ancient woodland on the banks of the River Hamble. Come to the farm to meet the animals, feed the ducks and the chickens, watch the farmer milk the cow, experience what life on a farm was like in the early 1900s in our historic farmhouse, and take part in a lesson in our Victorian schoolroom.

Really great, nice video of a lovely route

[@angelaharding1848]

It would be very helpful if you provided a map, in a printable (or pdf) form so this can be taken on the walk. Thanks.

[@HampshireCountrysideService]

Hi Angela, thanks for your suggestion. I'll pass that on to the team to consider for the next video.

I hope none of my council tax was wasted paying your wages or for production of this video
Totally impractical and selfish gate. Impossible to get through whilst wearing a rucksack or if you weigh over 17 stone and are trying to get some exercise.

Totally agree those gates are so annoying, I don't see a point in having those in the way of where people are going to be walking it just slows you down or is just plain annoying
