We will then walk along the coast, stopping in the Boscombe area for coffee and then walking on to Hengisbury and having a picnic overlooking the sea. Over the Head down to the spit with the opportunity for a swim if wanted. Back around to the path to Christchurch via Wey Ferry. Walk up to Castle and through the town to the railway station to catch train back to Winchester. Pub near station for refreshment.
