We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Circular walk from The Bell Inn, St Cross Winchester going somewhere in the local area, which covers St Catherines Hill, St Giles Hill, The Water Meadows, Winnall Moor, White Shute Ridge, Hockley Down, Twyford Lock, Compton and beyond. Moderate pace for 4.5 - 5 miles. A modest hill or two is likely unless it's wet. If it's wet we mostly avoid slippy areas and the mud. Come and try us out!
There is an option for lunch or a drink afterwards. Pre-orders are not needed. Finish at 12.30. If you are not using the pub, there is 2 hour parking in Mead Road on the other side of St Cross Road. You should usually be back within that time. There is also unlimited parking in Hubert Road (off Mead Road) and 4 hours parking in Barnes Close (off St Cross Road, two roads closer to town than Mead Road)
The Blue Star No. 1 bus to Southampton, every 15 minutes from Winchester bus station or Chandlers Ford, stops at The Bell
