Overview

We set off through the town and take the Riverside Walk along the bank of the Arle before picking up the Wayfarers Way to the Spitfire Memorial at Folly Hill.  We then drop down to Abbotstone and past the site of a medieval village before we reach Old Alresford and make our way back to New Alresford.  We also walk parts of the Watercress Way, the Ox Drove, Three Castles Path and the Camino Inglés to Santiago.
