Overview

Starting from the car park at Shawford Train Station we make our way via the quiet paths and tracks towards Hursley village.

From Hursley we make our way back via the Cranbury Park estate towards Otterbourne and then down to the Itchen navigation back to Shawford.

There is about 600 feet of ascent during the walk and a small number of stiles.

Well behaved dogs are welcome

Afterwards at the Bridge Inn, Shawford for those interested.
