Things to do in Baughurst
Baughurst is spread along its lanes between Tadley and the downs, with nearly fifty footpaths and bridleways, three recreation grounds and a village hall at Heath End that's busy most days. The Baughurst Society has written up twenty two walks.

Free, and nobody to book with.
Walks around Baughurst
The Baughurst Society publishes twenty two walk guides with GPX files, from a mile and a half round the War Memorial and past Badgers Wood, with the Kingsclere downs to the south and racehorses at Inhurst Farm, to six miles out to Brimpton and Wasing. Walk 18, from the Green at Heath End Village Hall, is an accessible one.
