It is at New Mill, Lower Common on the River Blackwater. There used to be a very good restaurant here about 10 years ago.

The road crosses the Blackwater river through a ford, which is often impractical for bicycles as the water level is a little too high. The footbridge is a great alternative and, while narrow, it allows dry and safe passage across the watercourse. Be careful if approaching from the south side of the river as there's a bend on the road and there is gravel on the road which makes it very slippery and dangerous if approached at speed.

Wide gravel tracks and evergreens make this heathland a joy to explore on bike or by foot. Forestry tracks cut through the area in every direction and much of it is open access land. The Three Castles Path, a long-distance walking trail, heads through the centre along Fox's Ride track. In the summer, keep an eye out for dragonflies near any water sources as the heath is well known for a wide variety of species.

With sections dating back to the 1500s, Eversley Church has seen a few things in its time. Nestled in the quiet, north Hampshire countryside, this serene church has a fascinating connection with literature. Between 1844 and 1875, Charles Kingsley was the rector here. Friend of Charles Darwin, Kingsley was the author of The Water Babies and several other works of fiction. His own life story is fascinating and wide ranging and he's buried in the churchyard here.
