17 May 2008: Alton circular walk, by Gerry
Gilbert White's Selborne and Jane Austen's house. This 13 mile walk in Hampshire will take us to beautiful countryside and interesting places. Make sure to bring a picnic lunch.
A 13 mile walk in Hampshire, with a picnic lunch. The quiet corner of Hampshire through which this walk passes seems like the kind of countryside in which nothing much ever happened. Yet in the late 18th and early 19th century it inspired two famous writers – Gilbert White and Jane Austen. After a section over wide upland fields to East Worldham, the walk first plunges into the delightful arcadia of woods, hangers and hidden pastures that surround Selborne, about which White wrote his famous Natural History. From there, it crosses wooded Selborne Common and gentle ridges of downland to Chawton, the home of Jane Austen for the last eight, and most productive years, of her life. On the way you can reflect on Austen's remark in Persuasion that two villages only three miles apart 'will often include a total change of conversation, opinion and idea': though only a few miles apart, even today Chawton and Selborne seem like different worlds.
On last Saturday's walk I managed to twist my ankle. But now it's all OK again. Let's hope the weather is OK too.
Don't forget to bring a picnic lunch!
