Dist:0.2km<br/>There are two roads named Downlands Way in South Wonston. This is the western one. They are both curved, both start on Downs Road and both are culs de sac. An undeveloped area lies between the two closed ends.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The park is convenient for the nearby nursery school, for which see http://www.swons.co.uk/index.html The path in the foreground allows pedestrians to walk from the closed end of Orchard Road to Groves Close (which is not a close but a road that runs into Downlands Way).

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking across Downs Road. The footpath is a continuation of Stainers Lane, and runs to Lower Road. It was doubtless there long before the Close.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The building on the left is the village hall. Beyond it, screened off, is the place where there was a corrugated iron church built in 1909, used till 1996, and dismantled in 2006. The church is still shown on Google Earth and OS maps. It lives on at the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum, see http://www.wealddown.co.uk/News/news-release-south-wonston-church.htm For more on the history of this church see http://www.southwonston-church.co.uk/History of church.html It appears that the rector paid £8 out of his own pocket for this plot of land in 1909. It's asking price in 2008 was around £150,000 which explains why it has not so far been possible to use it as a car park for the adjacent village hall.

Dist:0.5km<br/>South Wonston Primary School (http://southwonston.hants.sch.uk/index.html ) and St Margaret's Church (http://www.southwonston-church.co.uk/index.html ) share the site. The church (right), which was built in 1996, is joined to the school buildings (left). This view is looking across the school's playing field which is not open to the public.
