Vernham Dean to Combe Gibbet

Meeting in Vernham Dean we will walk north, through Linkenholt and the hamlet of Combe, to the ridge of the North Hampshire Downs. Turning west we will reach the historic Combe Gibbet with great views in all directions. The return leg sees us going south on the Test Way back to Vernham Dean.

This is an attractive, hilly walk - Combe Gibbet is adjacent to Walbury Hill, the highest point in south east England. There are some long, steady climbs, but nothing too steep. Will be on footpaths, bridleways and byways, through forest and on farm land, with just a couple of short sections on minor roads.
