Overview

A 12 mile circular walk from Arlebury Park, Alresford, along the Itchen valley.  From Alresford we head up over the vineyard to old Abbotstone and Itchen Stoke Down before descending to the river valley and returning along the St Swithun's Way.  Hopefully the river level will allow us to walk across the water meadows.
