Four Marks is a small village, so walking or cycling is a good option to visit these locations. Parking space is limited, and driving, especially during peak periods may take more time than walking or cycling. Bicycle rental shops are available around the village, and rental prices may vary from £15 to £30 per day. The estimated walk time between each location is roughly 2 to 3 hours, which should be taken into account.
If you have more time, you could visit nearby attractions such as the Queen Elizabeth Park, Farnham Castle or Winchester Cathedral. If you have less time, consider skipping the Hinton Ampner House or enjoy a quick visit to the site without entering the museum to save time and cost. Don't forget to carry a water bottle, comfortable shoes, and umbrellas/raincoat if necessary.
