Overview

This walk is stage 4 of the St James pilgrimage route. We will park at Chesil Street multi-storey car park in Winchester,  free on a Sunday.  It's a few minutes to walk from there into Winchester to catch the bus to New Arlesford,  then take a linear walk back.  The walk follows along the River Itchen and we will take in the various pilgrim checkpoints along the way. 2 stops, please bring own refreshments.  There are no cafes en route,  but loads to choose from at the end!
