Hangers Way 50K
The Hangers Way is a spectacularly unique long distance path, characterised by steep-sided wooded hills, known as “The Hangers”. The fully-signed course meanders through the beautiful woodland and grassland of the Hampshire countryside, visiting delightful villages such as Bighton and Selborne, home to Gilbert White, the naturalist and pioneer environmentalist.
It runs from Alton to Queen Elizabeth Country Park and we have used our usual BigFeat creativity to link the best trails up with this to make it a phenomenal 50K route.
