Longstock Loop To The Peat Spade Inn

Start by walking left (East) out of the hotel. Walk all the way to the roundabout at the end of the high street, then, continue along the pavement that runs parallel to the roundabout's first exit (the A30). You'll come to another roundabout 400 metres further up the A30, again, follow the pavement that runs parallel to the roundabout's first exit (the A3057). After 300 metres, the pavement turns into the Test Way, clearly signposted as a bridle footpath. Continue along the Test Way for 1km. Dissecting the Test Way will be a small country road called The Bunny, framed by a white-posted railing, head left (North-West) on The Bunny for 1km, crossing the River Test at one of it's most picturesque settings. Continue along The Bunny and you won't miss the Peat Spade Inn.

Now with batteries recharged, head left (South-West) at the War Memorial along Longstock Road for 2.5km. You will reach Stockbridge high street, proceed left (East) along the high street back to the hotel for a well-deserved afternoon tea (and cake!)
