I just did this walk an hour or so ago. Still a bit damp because at the end coming back to the mill I jumped in the clear fresh fast flowing water. Can you blame me on such a hot day hitting 30. Beautiful little walk with a lot of leaf cover from the glaring sun. Probably one to do when there are less leaves about and cooler for those unobstructed stunning views I was thinking, so will do it again sometime when I won't feel the urge to take the mill plunge. Sorry about that ducks and trout. 🦆
Really enjoyed this Dave! I went to School there in New Alresford, nearly 40yrs ago now. Brought back some great memories so thankyou for sharing this walk!
Just a really wonderful & amazing walk Dave! Alresford is just such a lovely little town. Loved the train station, the main street of the town, the mill, the cottages...all of them were & had some wonderful old buildings!😍 Pretty little stream. Btw...go Logan, go!!! You got those Zoomies!😂🐕💨⚡
Arlesford. Another place that is just beyond my known world, ( "here be dragons?!!)...a lovely walk. My parents house in the 70's was called "Millcress"....I guess this was only about 20 miles east of us.
Lovely video Dave. I know Alresford very well, having lived in the area in the 60s. I’ve walk past the Fulling Mill and the eel traps. It’s truly a remarkable spot alongside the river. At the time I lived at Itchen Stoke and working on the farm , would drive or tractors up through Abbotstone, heading for Northington Grange, which was owned by the same company. Thanks for the history of the hamlet of Abbotstone and the watercress beds also, which reminds me. I haven’t eaten watercress for many a year.
Thanks Lionel. I think that was one of my favourite walks of the series. Do look out for my video walk from Ovington, which takes me through Itchen Stoke - it comes out in a couple of weeks time.
A great video, beautiful countryside, lovely clear stream, whippet zoomies and an interesting toilet fact! Ps. Seems to be some text missing from your write up...'although the guide indicates that the walk is 4.5 mi' 😊
HI Dave, I used to work in Alresford 20 years ago and this has brought back lovely memories, especially walking alongside the river by Fulling Mill, thankyou.
Thanks Paul. All the music is from the RUclips Audio Library which is free. I often use "Firefly" by Chris Haugen (I think it is on RUclips as well). I also often use "Rainy Sundays" & "Lovely Afternoon Walk" by The 126ers.

Great walk & fantastic scenery/buildings. My paternal grandmother was born in Old Alresford.
Thank you. I hope to go back some time and do a walk that takes in Old Alresford - I took some pictures of the Church (on a hill) from a distance.
I felt your sheer joy at being able to do this walk Dave, just wonderful!
Thanks Ian. One of my favourites so far.
Arlesford. Another place that is just beyond my known world, ( "here be dragons?!!)...a lovely walk. My parents house in the 70's was called "Millcress"....I guess this was only about 20 miles east of us.
It really is quite beautiful around there - particularly along the river & the Fulling Mill.
That really was delightful Dave. A fabulous river, some stunning buildings and deserted medieval village!
Thanks Nigel. I enjoyed filming that walk..it really was such a pretty area.

Thanks Ann ..and for letting me know about the text (I hadn't noticed it!) - there was indeed a bit missing. Now added! cheers. Dave.
HI Dave, I used to work in Alresford 20 years ago and this has brought back lovely memories, especially walking alongside the river by Fulling Mill, thankyou.
What a super place to have worked in. That wander along the river was so breathtaking.
I love these videos - what’s the music you use?

Wonderful, as usual
Thanks Olivier and indeed thank you for watching. :)
