- In this episode of my series “ Walks in Hampshire” I take a walk in & around the pretty village of Tichborne which is situated 2 miles South West of New Alresford inside the South Downs National Park. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I start my 6 mile circular walk with a look at St Andrews church (Church of England) which unusually has a Roman Catholic chapel inside - dedicated to the Tichborne family.
My route then takes me South West, initially along the Allan King Way (a long distance path) which allows me to enjoy some stunning views across the Itchen valley. I then head South through a magical bluebell wood, past some enchanting thatched cottages on the ridge of a hill before heading North to Sevington Farm. I then cross the River Itchen and head towards Tichborne House where I recount two amazing stories about the area - The Tichborne Dole and The Tichborne Claimant!
After passing Tichborne Park Cricket Ground, I cross the River Itchen again to follow the Itchen Way (another long distance path) back to the village.
I finish my walk with an exploration of the village including a look at The Tichborne Arms pub (closed due to a refurbishment).

I use a GOPRO HERO 7, 8 or 10 Black Action Camera (sometimes with a Gimbal) & a Rode microphone (either a “Shotgun” or a Rode Wireless Go) together with a Canon Powershot SX530 HS.
Fascinating stories. God Bless Lady Tichborne the first. Arthur may have been a heel, but he obviously provided some happiness for the second Lady Tichborne in her last days.
They really were some great tales for sure - such a pretty area as well.
Thank you so much Dave for your wonderful tour. I have walked the river banks a few times as a child but not as an adult I must go back
Cheers. The Itchen is one of Hampshire's finest rivers for sure!
Amazing scenery in the countryside of Hampshire
Cheers Keith. Yes, it certainly is a lovely part of Hampshire.
Gorgeous scenery, building and interesting stories Dave. Made me feel very homesick!
The Tichborne family certainly has a fascinating history!
River Itchen and all our wonderful chalk streams are things of beauty Dave. Amazing that 80% of the worlds chalk streams are in England !
Certainly agree with you there Geoff. The River Itchen is one of my favourite rivers.
Smashing walk Dave, loved the story of the Tichborne crawls!
Thanks Ian. Hope you are well. Yes, I had some fun doing the research for that one!
Hi dave beautiful video stunning scenery gorgeous houses as usual very interesting and you had smashing weather really enjoyable Craig
Thanks Craig. Yes, it was a lovely Spring day - the bluebells were amazing.
Love your walks Dave, look forward to more of you and Logan.
Thanks Robert & indeed thank you for watching.
Again, thank you so much for an enjoyable video...❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
very interesting to see the history of my mums side of the family. My grandads brother would have been the heir if the fourtunes were still in the family. Good video.
That is great that you have a family connection with such a wonderful place - so much history there for sure.. Thank you for watching.
Lovely walk Dave and in memory of Woody too
Thanks Robert. Woody was a great companion and quite a character!
Lovely walk Dave. That’s a very pretty area with some beautiful old thatched cottages together with the river Itchen. Pity the pub was closed. I could see Logan was dying for a pint.
Thanks Lionel. Yes, we both of our tongues were "hanging out", looking through the window of that closed pub!
Thanks for that walk Dave. Lots of interesting facts as usual. Living very close to that area in the 60s, I was aware of the Tichbourne Dole, although I always thought it was money that was handed out, not flour! But I'm sure you are correct on that one. The old lady crawling around 20+ acres was quite a feat. Some lovely old thatched cottages in the village, which I've never actually explored.
Thanks Lionel. It is a fascinating area to explore and so pretty too.
Wow, stunning visual quality Mr Logan, have I just got a better mobile signal or have you spoiled your mate Dave with some new, top notch, camera gear? Agreed, the rivers are friends, well done for getting a picture of a fish, not an easy trick to pull off. Thank you both.
Thank you. I still use a Gopro 10 and film in 4K 30 FPS . It helps when the light is good (Gopros struggle with low light). I use a Canon Powershot SX530HS (I think you can still get it off Amazon for c£180) for the still shots - such as the fish. Those Hampshire chalk streams are a little easier for taking pics of fish as, generally, they have crystal clear beds.
Ahh, you are "in 4k". Many people's GoPro cameras used to have horribly distorted "fish eye" lenses, may I ask, is yours standard or is it an option? Can you change your lens? Those wide angle jobbies make me feel a bit sea sick, which is odd, as I don't get sea sick on a boat!
@@insertname9916 I usually film in Linear Plus (the horizon remains level). I believe that you can change the lens on a Gopro 10 to a "Max Lens mod" but that is something that I don't have - I just use what came with the camera (standard?).
@@DaveFord I didn't know about the "linear plus". A GoPro may be worth looking at these days then. Thank you Dave.
Interesting Latin inscription on the pub sign: "Pugna Pro patria" - literally, fight for your country. Makes you wonder whether the publican was an ex boxer!
I think (but I am not 100% sure) that it might be the motto for the Tichborne family and appears on versions of their coat of arms.
When I used to mountain bike the south downs a lot many years ago, we had many a wobbly ride after visiting the Tichborne arms!
I must pay a visit to the Tichborne Arms, now that it is open again. :)
