We will use paths and quiet lanes to the east of Colden Common, passing Marwell Zoo then turning north to Owslebury for a lunch stop - about 4.5 miles in the morning. The afternoon walk is only 2.5 miles to return to the start point. It’s a fairly steep climb up to the lunch stop and some muddy areas, so walking poles are recommended. In the morning we set out across a busy road but despite this the walk is mostly quiet and rural.
If you wish to join this walk please provide contact details by email. Lunch break will be at The Ship Inn, Owslebury.
