Whitchurch, Hampshire celebrated the arrival of 2016 with the ever popular New Years Day walk along the Mill Trail to Freefolk. The walk was a tremendous success with local residents and visitors joining the town’s two walking groups to blow away the cobwebs and lose a few of those unwanted Christmas calories.

After a short stop and some very welcome refreshments at the Watership Down Inn, the group split, with some walkers returning to Whitchurch via the Mill Trail whilst a sizeable group elected to chance the weather and walk off a few more festive calories by taking a longer route back to town via the ancient ‘Harroway’ and ‘Pig City’.
