A walk from the centre of Winchester as part of the Winchester Walking Festival Weekend.
Starting out from the front of Winchester Cathedral we will make our way along a stretch of the Itchen Way through the Water Meadows to Shawford where we will turn westwards up Shawford Down and towards Compton Down before heading back towards the centre of Winchester via the edge of Olivers Battery.
There are a three shortish hill ascents near Shawford and Olivers Battery with the rest of the walk on reasonably flat ground.
Distance is 9 miles
There is plenty of public parking in Winchester City Centre or alternatively there are various Park & Ride sites where the full day charge is £3.50.
