With only two weeks left to go until my Atlas Mountain trek, I left the stress of the working week behind on a day hike escape to Hampshire. Tramping through the stunning 2000 acre Queen Elizabeth Country Park, the fourteen mile circular walk took me to the highest point in the South Downs to experience exhilarating panoramic views all the way to the Isle of Wight. If you’re looking for a challenging walk with spectacular scenery and sumptuous rural retreats – this day one not to be missed.
