Nearby Villages
East Meon village centre is about a 40 minute walk from Upper Parsonage Farm. Here you will find our fantastic local pubs, The Izzak Walton and Ye Olde George Inn, as well as the village store. Many people come to our village to visit the black Tournai font, found in All Saints’ Church, which dates back to Norman times. Inside All Saints’ Church there is the superb Millenium Embroidery which represents East Meon in the Year 2000. Many villagers contributed to the project, which took nearly a decade to complete.

Walking and Cycling in the area
We are exceptionally lucky with the location of our farm. We are situated just off the South Downs Way, and have Buster Hill and the Queen Elizabeth Country Park extremely close by, all offering fantastic walks and cycle trails. We have also, increasingly, been a popular stop for walkers and cyclists completing the King Alfred’s way.
On the link to the right you can find a route to a 22 miles circular route allows you to experience the beauty of East Hampshire. You'll pass rolling hills, peaceful woodland, charming villages and sunken lanes. The cycle ride starts at the attractive market town of Petersfield, near to the train station.
You will be able to find details of different walking routes at the campsite but other routes to note are:
