A view of Old Winchester Hill from the walk

1 of 0

Overview

via Shady Grove, Great Sheardley Wood and Meon Valley Trail. Picnic lunch.

With the extra distance a Sunday walk allows, we get a chance to explore the further reaches of well-known areas. At least half of this walk is on footpaths I'd never travelled before, and the other half maybe once or twice.

Lovely views, mixed walking, a few hills and about 7 or 8 stiles. But not a punishing walk.
