Just when you think a walk has it all.... we start out from Romsey - a beautiful town, taking in the canal, across the wildlife reserve and spend a lot of the day dancing around the beautiful River Test. And then to top it all.... a Stone Circle!

Some of the fields may have livestock in them. Well behaved dogs are welcome on leads.

The walk ends in Romsey Town Centre where there are a multitude of cafes, pubs and, if the weather is good, ice cream!
