Overview

A walk through the South Downs incorporating parts of the South Downs Way, Meon Valley Trail and the Wayfarer's Walk.  With wonderful distant and riverside views plus quiet woodland paths this is a walk with plenty of variety.  As we're in the South Downs, walkers can expect some steeper sections but the views make them worth while.
