Overview

A slightly later start for this New Year’s Day walk. After a short section of woodland and a bit of tarmac walking we soon join the Itchen Way for a nice easy walk along by the river with a chance to view the iconic grade II listed Bitterne clock tower. The walk is essentially flat so not too difficult after last night's celebrations.

No booking required.

Map OL32.

Please bring refreshments for a short break by the river.

Assistance dogs only please.

Please bring your ICE (In Case of Emergency) card with you.
