We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This undulating walk takes us along the edge of Stockbridge Down, through Leckford Golf Course and along the Test Way for a short distance before crossing a very picturesque part of the river en route to Longstock. Heading uphill on a wide track, we then visit Danebury Hill Fort, walking round the inner circle before stopping for a picnic lunch with far reaching views. We make our way back via Houghton Down and Stockbridge High Street.
Please let the leader know you are coming as we may set off early if all known walkers have arrived.
This is a change of venue from the originally planned Downton walk, due to the presence of a large number of over-interested bulls on the pre-walk with no easy alternative route. It has not been possible to pre-walk this walk which was last done in January. If they have not been cleared since then, there may be a few fallen trees to negotiate near the start.
Bring a picnic lunch, snacks and drinks as required.
