Leaving the Bat and Ball we crossed the rather busy A338 turned right and into the lane running behind the school. We found we had to look quite hard to spot the path we wanted and it was a little overgrown in places but still easily passable. Although we have walked around the beautifully kept Whitsbury Stud before we could not recall having reached it via this route. Looking back I found that we had been on some of the sections in 2008 and 2010 some time before starting this blog! From Outwick to Whitsbury it is a very pleasant walk, on a hot day, through nicely shaded woodland. Notices by the track across the fields leading to St Leonard’s Church at Whitsbury, tell you that it is dangerous to walk across the fields when there are horses there. We don’t want to chance upsetting racehorses so took the long way round. We took advantage of the well placed benches to sit beside the church and have refreshment break. From here it is pretty much downhill all the way back to Breamore where we had another opportunity to admire a few of the very fine old buildings. There are so many attractive houses hidden away around Breamore that you only really notice while walking around the area. Back at the Bat and Ball we enjoyed our pots of tea, with accompanying smarties, and liver and bacon casserole.
