We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Part of the Winchester Walking Weekend 2024.
Leaving Winchester cathedral, we'll walk along the river, skirt St Catherine's Hill to Twyford, returning via Compton Lock.
This is a circular walk starting from Winchester Cathedral. We will have some easy walking along the River Itchen bank, before skirting St Catherine’s Hill. We have a moderately steep ascent to the Golf Course which we cross before descending to Twyford. We then return to the start point via Compton lock and the River Itchen.
There are both woodland tracks and field footpaths, so after some rain it may be muddy in places. The pace will be moderate but does include some quite steep sections, so walking poles may be useful if you have them.
The walk will start at 11.30am and we expect to finish around 2pm. There will be a short break midway for snacks and drinks. There are no toilet facilities but a few wooded sections on route should that be needed.
Please note the following:
Ramblers stand near the King's Royal Rifle Corps War Memorial in front of the cathedral.
