Overview

The Itchen Way is a 51.2 km long-distance footpath following the River Itchen from its source near Hinton Ampner House to its mouth at Woolston.  The Way finishes at Sholing railway station.  The Eastleigh Ramblers Itchen Project comprises a series of circular walks which encompass the complete Itchen Way.  Leg 5 leaves Otterbourne to reach the outskirts of South Down and then joins the Itchen Way to stroll down to Bishopstoke and returns via Burrow Hill, Brambridge and St Matthews Old Church.
