Walking the Hangers Way is a beautiful way to explore the rolling hills and countryside of Hampshire, in southern England. The trail is approximately 21 miles (34 km) long and can be completed in one or two days depending on your pace and level of fitness.

The Hangers Way starts in the market town of Alton, Hampshire, and follows a mixture of paths, tracks and quiet country lanes, passing through picturesque villages and historic sites, including Selborne, home of the naturalist Gilbert White. It takes walkers through the Hampshire Hangers, the series of steep-sided hills that give the route its name, and finishes at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, where it meets the South Downs Way National Trail and links to the Staunton Way, which proceeds to the coast at Langstone Harbour.

The trail passes through a variety of landscapes, including ancient woodlands, chalk downlands and rolling fields, and offers the chance to see a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, deer and wildflowers.

Accommodation options along the trail are limited, with a few campsites and B&Bs available in the nearby towns and villages. There are also a few pubs and cafes along the way, providing opportunities for refreshments and rest.

Overall, walking the Hangers Way is a fantastic way to experience the natural beauty and rich history of Hampshire. The LDWA grades the route as challenging, with steep climbs and descents on the hangers.
