Overview

Leaving the car park through Holly Hill Woodland Park and Cawte’s Copse we follow the River Hamble upstream crossing at Lower Swanwick. Heading through the pretty village of Bursledon along the Strawberry trail through Mallards Moor, we traverse the disused airfield to arrive at Hamble-le-Rice. We will eat our picnic lunches before catching the iconic Pink Ferry back across the river to Warsash where we pick up the riverside path back upstream across Bunny Meadows and back through Winnard’s Copse.
