The abundant walks include the Zig Zag, the Lythe, Noar Hill and the 21 mile long Hangers Way with much of the local area in the ownership of the National Trust and the Blackmoor Estate. Alton‘s High Street is within 4.5 miles and has varied shops, M&S, Sainsbury‘s and Waitrose stores, 2 senior schools and the Convent, Alton College, a sports centre and commuter trains to Waterloo.
