Bramshott Day Walk 27th February 2019

The weather could not have been better for our stroll through the commons and woodland around Ludshott Common. It may have been February but the sun shone all day long and it was aound 16° C for much of our walk. Starting from Bramshott Commom we headed for the stream to the west of Waggoners Wells. From there we found our way to Ludshott Common, one of the largest remaining areas of heathland in East Hampshire, skirting the houses of Headley Down on the way. We also managed to catch a glimpse of Butser Hill through a slight haze. Lunch was taken in Applegarth Farm Cafe which made a change from a pub!  After lunch we made our way to the eastern end of the series of ponds known as Waggoners Wells. They may have been originally formed to be hammer ponds, but iron making had moved north by the time they were completed. It was a very still day so the reflections in the ponds were very good. After a few inclines we eventually reached the Bramshott car park. Thanks to Marian, Denis and Jane for additional photos. The walk was a little under 6.1/2 miles
