Common is particularly popular among dog walkers. You can also spot horses on your trail.
Although the path is spoiled by animal excrement, Basingstoke Common offers a nice route to go for a walk or a run.

Nestled in the heart of Basingstoke town centre, when the sun is shining, Eastrop Park is a little slice of paradise.
As well as the picturesque lake, it's the perfect place to walk around, or to take a picnic.
If you work up a sweat, there's a lovely cafe where you can cool down, or if longer walks are your thing, it's easy to access the Basingstoke Common.
