About 20 mins drive from Aldershot is also Frensham pond which is my favourite when I need some calm time and / or picnic with the family. Great pond with a sailing club across the lake giving nice views of boats sailing. Sandy areas and safe water for kids to play in, swim and enjoy (weather permitting of course)

The Basingstoke Canal is a British canal, completed in 1794, built to connect Basingstoke with the River Thames at Weybridge via the Wey Navigation. From Basingstoke, the canal passes through or near Greywell, North Warnborough, Odiham, Dogmersfield, Fleet, Farnborough Airfield, Aldershot, Mytchett, Brookwood, Knaphill and Woking. Its eastern end is at Byfleet, where it connects to the Wey Navigation. This, in turn, leads to the River Thames at Weybridge. Its intended purpose was to allow boats to travel from the docks in East London to Basingstoke.
Great place for a small picnic or walk alongside the river
