Walk Description:

Our Special adventure walks are a great way to discover some new areas and visit places with the group. Today we are off to Overton for a walk around the village and countryside that was home to Jane Austen for the first 25 years of her life.

This is NOT a technique walk but an enjoyable walk to enjoy this new area. It is social and fun.

Suitable for all levels.Some gentle hills may be included.

TODAY WE HAVE A SPECIAL OUTING TO OVERTON to walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen in the 250th after her birth. 

The Walk: a 6.5 mile circular walk from Overton taking in Jane Austen's house at Steventon and lots of places she would have visited on her own walks.

Location: Overton - Hampshire - main car park in the village.

You are able to meet us there or share a lift from Marlborough.

Refreshments at various village cafes.
