Overview

We will walk through Holly Hill Park to the river Hamble and follow the river upstream to cross at Lower Swanwick. Heading back downstream following the Strawberry Trail, we pass through Bursledon and Hamble where we will cross the river on the Pink Ferry (£2.50 cash only). Landing at Warsash we return upstream to Holly Hill. Picnic lunch.
