Neighbourhoods
Lovely small Georgian market town only 3.5 miles away. We often walk here through the back lanes and country footpaths (about 5 miles).
Odiham has a lovely mixture of shops and places to eat such as the Bel & Dragon and Le Creperie as well as other cafes which spill onto the High Street. On sunny days you can sit out at the pavement tables and watch the world go by; in winter have a drink in one of the cosy pubs. It is said that King John stayed at Odiham Castle the night before he signed the Magna Carta.
You can also walk down to the canal and go on a boat trip or hire a canoe, kayak or narrow boat for the day!
