We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will walk east along West Meon Road towards Westbury House, then south towards Chappetts Farm and into Hen Wood. Intersecting Halnaker Lane and walking south to join the South Downs Way to Hall Cottages, Whitewool Farm and the climb up towards Old Winchester Hill. We traverse along the crest of Old Winchester Hill where we will have lunch. After lunch we will continue on the South Downs Way to join the disused railway line to turn north back towards West Meon.
Some of the paths can be very muddy so please bring poles if you use them. Also the weather does not look perfect and a lot of the route is exposed so warm clothes and wet weather gear is recommended.

This is a picnic walk so please bring lunch, snacks and drinks
