  • Freefolk and Whitchurch
    Freefolk and Whitchurch Trail : HAMPTR0026 Activity : Walk Type : Tea Shop Terrain : Towpaths and Cycle Tracks Author : Jean Patefield Distance : 5.6 miles / 9 kms Ascent : 377 feet / 115 metres Location : SU487488 / RG28 7NN St Mary the Virgin Riverside Walk, Whitchurch Whitchurch Silk Mill © Alexander P Kapp © Chris Talbot © Chris Talbot Trail Summary Leafy lanes and quiet byways through the landscape made famous by the classic story 'Watership Down' mean this walk is a delight all year round. The route leads gently over a hill with some fine views of rolling Hampshire countryside to the ancient town of Whitchurch. On an island in the river Test is a beautifully restored and working silk mill with a teashop. Fully refreshed, your return is along the valley of Britain's purest trout stream with some more views to enjoy. Trail Details Henri Portal was a Huguenot who fled France as a boy to escape persecution. The tradition is that he and his brother hid in an oven when the soldiers came to seize the family's chateau and they were then smuggled on board ship by servants. He established a paper mill at nearby Laverstoke, which won the contract to produce watermarked paper for the Bank of England. The hamlet of Freefolk housed the workers while the Portal family lived at Laverstoke Park, skirted by this route. 1. Continue up the lane leading to the church. In front of a house next to the church bear right up three steps and through a gate onto a surfaced path. When the surface ends, continue ahead across a field to a lane.
