We are the Eastleigh Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will be walking up to the chalk hills that border the Test Valley, through Michelmersh and down to the River Test, negotiating the steep path near the quarry (there are hand rails). Crossing the meadows, we'll then pass by some interesting cottages and houses in Oakley and Mottisfont, joining part of the Test Way.
Later, we'll walk through fields with good views to drop down into the Dunn Valley. Then up through woods and back via Kimbridge and over the spectacular Test River again.
There are no shops or toilets en route although we pass 2 pubs and a cafe. There are 4 stiles.
Park opposite the Bear and Ragged Staff pub on Staff Road. There is more parking just at the front of the pub too also on Staff Road. The pub itself is about 5 miles from Romsey along the Stockbridge Road on the right hand side.
