We are the Portsmouth Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A 9 mile circular walk starting from Itchen Abbas village Hall (free parking). The walk takes in the 3 Castles Way and the Watercress Way, along the picturesque River Arle. After lunch overlooking watercress beds, we will walk to Ovington, then parallel to the Itchen River to Avington Park, before returning to Itchen Abbas.
Note that the route of the proposed walk was modified on 11th January 2024, to avoid flooding of the Itchen Way. This involves walking for about a mile along a very quiet country lane and shortens the walk from 10 to 9 miles.
There will be a coffee stop and a lunch stop. Please bring your own refreshments. Some hills and the paths are wet and muddy at this time of year. No need to book, just turn up before the start time.
