The Staunton Way is a combination of routes connecting Queen Elizabeth Country Park with Staunton Country Park, Havant, which together make a circular route of 21 miles. It follows a mixture of footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes through countryside, woods and farmland, with views over the chalk downland of the South Downs.

The route roughly follows the Hampshire and Sussex border south through Chalton and Finchdean and, after visiting Staunton Country Park, returns via Stansted Forest and Ditcham Park School and along the undulating ridge of the downs above Buriton. Staunton Country Park is a large estate with gardens, lakes, historic follies and woodland walks, and makes a good place for a break.

The trail is named after Sir George Staunton, an early 19th century Portsmouth MP who created the country estate that now forms Staunton Country Park. It is typically completed in one or two days, with places to stay including campsites, B&Bs and pubs, and refreshment stops along the way.

The LDWA notes that the 2004 leaflet map shows the old route through Staunton Country Park, while the e-book describes the route starting from Staunton Country Park.
