Summer might be over, and the temperature has dropped, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the great outdoors.
We're so lucky to have some fantastic countryside walks right on our doorstep, from Kingsclere to Danebury Hill Fort.
Many are just a short drive away, or you could even try the bus with some of the routes that are closer.
With the cost of living still relatively high, an autumnal walk might be one of the cheapest ways to entertain the family this weekend.

Danebury Hill Fort
Route distance: 0.8 miles
Start point: Danebury car park
If you love a bit of history, then this walk is for you.
Danebury is one of an extensive network of fortified sites across the Hampshire countryside, and is near Stockbridge so isn't too far to drive.
The site is a rich chalk grassland and from the hill fort there are magnificent views including several other hill forts and prehistoric burial mounds.
Evidence suggests that Danebury Iron Age Hill Fort was built 3000 years ago.
It started life as a Late Bronze Age stock enclosure, while the main defences that are now visible were built around 2500 years ago.
The fort remained in use until c.100BC, some 140 years before the Roman invasion of AD43.
Longparish Dead Mans Plack
Route distance: 6.5 miles
Start point: Village Hall
Dead Man's Plack itself is a Grade-II listed 19th-century monument erected in the memory Earl Athelwold.
According to legend, Athelwold was killed there in 963 by his rival in love King Edgarto.
The valley is about half a mile wide, flanked by low ridges, with Harewood Forest to the north and west.
It has an excellent network of footpaths, including part of the Test Way, links the settlements. The paths provide some memorable views of the old cottages, the landscape and the river.
If you don't have a car, this route can be accessed from the town centre by bus routes P20 or 76.
Hannington Cottingtons Hill

Kingsclere walk
Route distance: 5 miles
Start point: White Hill car park
Kingsclere has varied countryside including open downland, steep slopes, small fields and woodland.
This walk is not for the faint-hearted. It has some steep gradients but is worth trying for the beautiful views.
