Hiking

Almost like a cottage on the outside, this peaceful 12th-century church sits in the rural Hampshire village of Upper Wield. The font, also 12th century, is made from Purbeck stone while Norman stonework above the main door shows the faint remnants of the Ten Commandments. A monument to Southampton's former 17th-century mayor, Sir William Wallop, can be found within.

Gravel riding

Not at all easy to find, as you need to go down a cul de sac road off the 'main road' through the tiny village of Upper Wield (I do not recall seeing any commerce there). Off the cul-de-sac is another lane and there, hidden behind some substantial vegetation you will find St James. It is a delightful, very small church, which was open when I passed on a Sat morning in May 2026.
