We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
~~ This walk is now fully booked. ~~
This is a circular walk in Twyford and Shawford with the added benefit of an early extended stop for coffee/tea and cakes at Platform 1 cafe, Shawford. This is a delightful place that opened late January this year, situated in the former booking hall of the station and very reminiscent of the film ‘Brief Encounter’. We set off from Twyford, across the water meadows, through Compton Lock and dropping down into Shawford. After the break we will return via another part of the water meadows, past St Mary’s Church, along quiet roads, using footpaths and open fields to reach the Water Works, Twyford. We then head across fields and back down into the village, again along quiet country roads.
