Farley Mount, West Wood

Sometimes we meet at Crab Wood picnic area and sometimes we meet at the Monument car park.  This venue is halfway between the two and is at the junction of the Crab Wood/Monument road with the road coming from Hursley and Standon on the A3090.

There are some terrific tracks in this area.  Parnholt Wood has a great downhill run which leads to Kings Somborne.  From here it is possible to take the Test Way up to Stockbridge and circle out round Crawley almost reaching Wherwell not far from Andover before heading back via Sparsholt and West Wood.  For anyone looking for a shorter trip, you could do worse than ride around the many trails in West Wood itself perhaps linking up with some sections of the Clarendon Way.
