We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a walk of just over 9 miles starting at 10am from the car park by the church at Droxford.
SU 607 183, post code SO32 3RB.
It's a pretty and undulating walk with some long, but gradual, uphill stretches and lovely views. We walk through woodland paths, lanes, roads and fields.
We might leave Droxford by climbing a steep path with steps, and a good handrail most of the way up. This depends on the weather on Sunday. Otherwise we will use the road. We walk towards Upper Swanmore and skirt the edge of Bishops Waltham before returning via Dundridge.
There are five stiles. One of these is in an 'interesting' condition and can easily be avoided if we decide that Limbo dancing is not for us!
If there are no parking spaces by the church, go up Park Road opposite and either park in the school car park at the top of the road, or turn right from Park Road into Union Lane and park in the Fire Station car park on the right.
Please bring refreshments including plenty of water and a picnic lunch.
Please let me know if you are coming as we might leave early if everyone seems to have arrived
Droxford Church, Hampshire
