Walking & Cycling Breaks

Wetherdown Eco Lodge makes the perfect base for families, groups or individuals to explore the Hampshire South Downs! Why not stay for a few days to explore the area?

There are many beautiful walks and cycles to do from our doorstep - plenty to keep you busy for a few days or even a week.

We are ideally situated right on the South Downs National Trail, which means we get a  lot of walkers and cyclists stopping overnight as they enjoy the 6-day trail. However there are many others beautiful walks and cycle trails, of varying distances and grades, to suit all ages and abilities, including:
  • Shipwrights Way - Walk along the South Downs Way to Queen Elizabeth Country Park where you can pick up the new Shipwrights Way
  • Wayfarers Way - in the other direction, at Droxford, you can join up with the Wayfarers Way
  • Hangers Way - From Petersfield you can walk the stunning Hangars Way
  • Mountain Bike Trails - A short cycle away is Queen Elizabeth Country Park where they have a Novice and an Advanced Mountain Bike Trail.
