Welcome to Whitehill and Bordon
  

Local walk 12

This path originally probably linked Conford and Liss.  It still can be followed from Conford, but now stops at the new A3 road and can be accessed from the perimeter track at Number 3 range off the Woolmer Link Road.  The perimeter track is followed eastwards past the MOD bridge crossing over the A3, until there is a footpath fingerpost on the north side.  Footpath 12 crosses the tract at this point.  Turning south towards the A3, the mossy path is sunken and runs uphill to a gateway in the boundary fence leading onto the A3.  In the Autumn many Shaggy Inkcaps are found along the path.

Back on the perimeter track the finger post points the continuation of the path along a wide ride up the hill, but this can only be followed when the red flags are not flying as this is the range danger area.  This is remnant of the Royal Woolmer Forest or Whulfmere in the old Saxon Charters, a place where wolves were once numerous.  Edward 1 had a hunting lodge built in the north end of the forest and Henry V111 hunted in the area.  Roe Deer tracks may often be seen in the ride.  At the top of the hill there is a fence with a barrier gate, but another finger post points east and then another north.  This should link up with the path in Bramshott and Liphook Parish, but it is now impassable as it has become badly overgrown.
