Head up to Inkpen and keep heading up the hill towards Faccombe (where the Jack Russell Pub is) and you'll find parking spots and a bridleway leading you to Combe Gibbet - the site of the last double hanging in Britain. There's even a replica gibbet at the top of the hill! The highest spot in this part of the country, you can see for miles on a clear day. It does get very windy though!

On the site of an old RAF base, and famously used by the US Air Force as a base for nuclear weapons during the Cold War. Now it's a nature reserve with cattle grazing, hard core paths great for cycling and scooting. The Control Tower has recently been opened as a museum and café - a great spot to warm up after a chilly run! Park Run is based here on Saturday mornings.
