Common is particularly popular among dog walkers. You can also spot horses on your trail. Although the path is spoiled by animal excrement, Basingstoke Common offers a nice route to go for a walk or a run.
Eastrop Park
(Photo by Liz Dunkel) Nestled in the heart of Basingstoke town centre, when the sun is shining, Eastrop Park is a little slice of paradise. As well as the picturesque lake, it s the perfect place to walk around, or to take a picnic. If you work up a sweat, there s a lovely cafe where you can cool down, or if longer walks are your thing, it s easy to access the Basingstoke Common.
