Overview

Join me on this 9.5 mile undulating circular walk on good tracks in beautiful Hampshire countryside.  The walk starts in Alresford and takes us alogside the River Alre then heads north on the Wayfarer’s Walk past Abbotstone and on to The Grange at Northington, where we will stop for coffee and snacks before heading back to Alresford.  The Grange is the foremost example in England of Greek Revival architecture. There are no stiles on this walk.

Please bring snacks and drinks. Additional drinks if the weather is warm.

Stagecoach's No.64 bus provides half-hourly service between Winchester Broadway and Alresford, also No. 67 which is less frequent.
