Introduction
The Hangers Way is a 21-mile long-distance walking
route that will take you from its start at Alton Railway
Station, out into the lush Hampshire countryside, along
a series of steep-sided wooded hills, known as “The
Hangers”, through the pretty market town of
Petersfield to finish at Queen Elizabeth
Country Park, owned and managed by
Hampshire County Council and the
Forestry Commission. This is the largest of
Hampshire’s parks and sits at the foot of
the dramatic Butser Hill, the highest point
of the chalky South Downs
