Hey use to live in that neck of the woods (was at HAUC). Didnt get out enough I have to say but Aqualate Mere NNR is quite good, public access is via footpaths from near the "Swan @ Forton". Also there was an area of rough scrub area at the end of Newport (furthest away from Chaney Hill and main road to HAUC) as you walk up the main high st to the round about on your right hand side (10-15 min from town) never went myself but worth the try. Hope that is of some help.

Fare enough - I did CM at HAUC. The HAUC estate has some places which might have something but I wouldnt hold my breath and certanly not when the students are there (Caynton Gorse perhaps, and down by Edgmond Hall).
