Find the Sentinels at Hogmoor Inclosure, Bordon
Whether you’re tackling the natural play area, exploring the sandy trails, or tucked away in the bird hide, Hogmoor Inclosure is a wonderful place to climb, explore and adventure the day away.
Ten Sentinels guard the gates, ponds and paths – how many can you find?
The Sentinels
The Sentinels are wooden sculptures and there are a few along each of the marked trails. Their locations are shown on the maps by the car park, which you can photo before you set off.
The Trails
There are a few marked trails to try that lead you past different features, including gates, activity boards and the Sentinels.
The paths are sandy and lower than the surrounding trees. There are lots of little hills for you to run up and explore in parallel to the paths.
