A pleasant and relatively flat route following the River Test from Whitchurch to Overton....

An overgrown byway (Photo 3) then heads east to join the Micheldever Road. There is then a long walk south alongside the busy Overton Road with a narrow verge (Photo 5). It occurred to me that an alternative final stretch would be to stick to the Micheldever Road and take the Andover Road to the station....

It then leaves the Test Way and follows the River Test to Whitchurch. After crossing the River Test at Chilbolton Cow Common, the route crosses the road, turns to the left for a short while, then takes a track on the right to climb to follow the course of the old railway above Wherwell. As it leaves the village it turns north up a track in a valley, then kinks right through the trees, and goes north-east along a treeline, and follows a path along the edge of Harewood Forest. Still following Test Way signs, the path turns off the road on the left, before turning right and dropping across a field and across the B3048 and down into the pretty hamlet of Forton. At the end of Forton the path goes across a field, past the church and school and onto the Plough Inn (which is recommended if you want refreshments!) At this point the route leaves the Test Way, and follows the main road through the village. At Mill Lane the route goes through the high hedge on the left, and out onto open fields, which lead to a bridge over the Test, where you may see trout, herons and maybe a kingfisher. At a junction, the route goes through the hedge on the far side of the road, and follows the field edge over the hill and down once again to the Test....

The route leaves the Wayfarer’s Walk along a footpath south. The route continues south along a farm lane and then a narrow footpath (Photo 7). Lanes, and finally a footpath, lead SW into the centre of Whitchurch....

A shorter Slow Way which follows the first few miles of River Test upstream, almost to its source. The route from Whitchurch follows the south bank of the river (Photo 1) but then leaves it for a narrow footpath into Laverstoke (Photo 2)....

Overall, a pleasant route when walked in August, crossing the lovely river Test and through some delightful meadows and pastoral paths. From Whitchurch, following the Mill Trail over the River Test, the route uses a mix of woodland paths, a meadow walk and field boundary footpaths to climb above the river before dropping down to the village of Laverstoke....
