1
The walk starts in the village of Colemore which is just over 7 miles south of Alton. There is no bus service, so the start point is only accessible by bike or car. Take the A32 south from Alton, and after passing through the village of East Tisted take the next road on the left, Shell Lane, towards Colemore. There is space to park on the grass outside the churchyard.
 2
The walk starts by following the lane south for a short distance and then follows a path a cross fields and alongside a belt of trees before veering right through a gate into a large grassy field. The path heads slightly uphill, keeping near the hedge on the left and reaches Field Farm (Picture). There is a low stile to leave the field and then follow the lane south-west for a short distance.
 3
Before a sharp righthand bend in the lane, take the bridleway on the left (Picture). The bridleway gives good distant views to the south and ends at a junction of lanes.
 4
Bearing right along the lane, a footpath is reached on the left (Picture); this leads across a field to the Pub with No Name (formerly the White Horse) which has outside tables for warm weather days and cosy fires for the winter (Picture).
 5
The route goes through a kissing-gate at the south-east corner of the car park, then follows narrow paths to emerge into and cross an arable field. Beyond, the path skirts Quin Hay Farm and the backs of several houses and continues south eastwards to Warren Corner (Picture). There are lovely views northwards along this path.
 6
The route turns sharp left at Warren Corner and follows a lane for about half a mile, initially past the Warren Nature Reserve, then follows a lane on the left for a short distance before turning right on a farm road. Emerging at a junction of lanes, the route continues ahead and turns right through a gate near Slade Farm (Picture).
 7
The path goes through another gate and then diagonally crosses a huge field, with a stile in the far corner. The remains of Lye Farm are on the right ('lye' denotes a clearing in the woods) and the route gradually climbs out of the valley. The view back to Lye Farm is arguably one of the most attractive countryside views in East Hampshire.
 8
The route crosses a field and meets and crosses a narrow lane, then follows a bridleway back to Colemore (Picture). Turn left onto the lane at the end of the bridleway to return to the starting point.
