Bramshot Farm Country Park provides 91 acres of open meadows and woodlands, plentiful space for dog walking and other outdoor pursuits.

2.5 kilometres of surfaced and unsurfaced pathways weave throughout the meadow complex to cater for all abilities and interests. A surfaced 1.3 kilometre (approx. 30 minutes' walk) path loops out from the car park and is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.

Carved benches are dotted along the route at regular intervals so that you can take a seat and enjoy the scenery. Mown pathways extend a further kilometre into the Country Park, offering a chance to explore the site further and exercise any energetic furry friends!

You can start your walk along our surfaced pathway ‘Leaping Hare Loop’ from the car park. An additional pedestrian entrance is located off Juniper Road via A327 underpass connecting you with ‘Yaffle Meadows’.
