WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE at STEVENTON (JANE AUSTEN'S BIRTHPLACE) & THE SOURCE OF THE RIVER TEST.

This is another video in my series “ Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I take a walk around the villages of Steventon, Ashe & Deane in North Hampshire (about 6 miles South West of Basingstoke). Steventon is probably best known for being the birthplace of Jane Austen. I start my 5.5 mile circular walk at Steventon church (where Jane Austin's Father, George, was once Rector)and after passing by Steventon Manor I head through Steventon Park, under the railway and on to Ashe Park via Kimbers Copse. Although the official source of the River Test sits in a private field opposite Ashe House, Logan & I check out a pond / spring to the North of the site that could well feed into it. (We do get to view the official source from a distance). After exploring the church at Ashe (which has a delightful “surprise” inside), I head East to Deane for my third church of the walk and the magnificent Deane House. I then head South along part of the Wayfarers Walk, back underneath the railway, towards Steventon. This gives me the opportunity of checking out the field in which there was once Steventon Rectory – where Jane Austen was born & spent the first 25 ears or so of her life. The weather was perfect for my walk – a sunny, Spring day with hardly a cloud in the sky. Daffodils and snowdrops were out in all their glory. PS: The sound in the final "end scene" clip might seem a bit odd. I had not pushed my microphone in hard enough into the camera..... so it only is working on one speaker (ie not stereo).
