Dist:0.3km<br/>I never know who and what purpose such areas are set up for. There seem to be quite a few springing up around this region. This is a view along the old railway line right on top of the railway bridge.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Now used by the Three Castles Long Distance Path from Winchester to Windsor. The railway line was opened in 1901, closed in 1917, reopened in 1924 and closed in 1932. It was never profitable and was built by the London and South Western Railway company as a spoiler to the Great Western Railway's plans to build a line from Reading to Portsmouth.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The A339 descends from Poor Hill from Alton towards Basingstoke. The farmhouse does not seem to have a name, but I can't really call it Poor Farm. The surrounding fields seem to be all pasture; maybe they are too steep for arable planting.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the bridge over the former Alton to Basingstoke Light Railway line where it crosses the byway, Winslade Lane, that is used here by the Three Castles Long Distance Path from Winchester to Windsor. The railway line was opened in 1901, closed in 1917, reopened in 1924 and closed in 1932. It was never profitable and was built by the London and South Western Railway company as a spoiler to the Great Western Railway's plans to build a line from Reading to Portsmouth.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The former Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway line where it crosses the Three Castles Path. The line was opened in 1901, closed in 1917, reopened in 1924 and closed in 1932. It was never profitable and was built by the London and South Western Railway company as a spoiler to the Great Western Railway's plans to build a line from Reading to Portsmouth. This section is a permissive bridleway, but the notice ahead debars public entry into a "conservation area" so the route drops to the right.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The permissive bridleway part of the former railway line drops away here onto another byway. This building appears to be a pumping house and although the windows are all boarded up the door looks to be still used.
