Leave London for a Country Walk Weekend

Weekend August 7th/8th

SOLD OUT

Leave London on Saturday morning and arrive at the newly refurbished Grosvenor Hotel in Stockbridge for lunch at 1pm. Then enjoy a walk on the scenic Stockbridge Water Meadows along of the River Test - or if you prefer, you can enjoy Stockbridge's art galleries and boutiques - not to mention various pubs, cafes and teashops. It's all very relaxed. 

That afternoon you can check in to wherever you are booked, whether it's the Grosvenor, the White Hart at an AirBnB - see details below.

We'll be having dinner at the Grosvenor, where the food's excellent - and others may be joining. All very social.

On Sunday morning, we relax over a long breakfast, coffee and papers, before going for a walk in the for Bourne Valley, about 20 minutes drive away. We'll meet at Noon at the George Inn, St Mary Bourne, from where we'll set off, returning for a well earned lunch at 2pm. (Those that want to skip the walk can meet us there.)

 

It's all very relaxed; you can dip in and out of any of the above.
