Embark on the Centenary Way and Terrington Loop, a moderate hiking route that takes you through the diverse landscapes of the Howardian Hills. You'll cover 5.8 miles (9.4 km) and gain 411 feet (125 metres) in elevation, a journey that typically takes around 2 hours and 32 minutes. Expect to traverse varied terrain, from open pastures and crop fields to secluded woodland paths. As you hike, you'll enjoy wide-ranging views across the fields, with the highlight being the expansive vista of the Howardian Hills from Sorwood Thorns. The changing seasons bring different beauty to the woodland sections.
Start your hike from Terrington village, which offers convenient amenities like a village store where you can pick up freshly made food. You'll also find picnic benches there, perfect for a pre-hike snack or post-hike meal. Be prepared for potentially muddy conditions in some woodland sections, particularly after rain or during wetter seasons. Therefore, wearing appropriate waterproof footwear is highly advisable for your comfort and safety on the trail.
This circular route offers a focused exploration of the picturesque countryside surrounding Terrington village, making it a great way to experience the local area. As you move through the varied landscape, keep an eye out for local wildlife, such as Roe Deer, especially in the quieter wooded areas. The trail provides a unique opportunity to connect with nature and appreciate the rural charm of this part of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
