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

Starting from Junction Car Park in Farley Mount Country Park we head north through West Wood, then across farmland and a quiet country lane to Sparsholt for a coffee stop. We cross further fields to the hamlet of Dean, then through woods to the road of Dean Lane to the edge of Winchester - here a bowl of soup etc. will be offered for lunch in the walk leader's flat (N.B. numbers limited), although benches in the garden are available for picnickers if the weather is kind. Return to the start via Lanham Lane, Crab Wood and West Wood, almost all off-road. Under 5 miles am and 4 miles pm.
On the pre-walk on 16th December there was some mud but it was not excessive.Some road walking in the morning was on quiet lanes. The lunch stop in a flat is limited in space, so numbers will unfortunately be restricted, for which I apologise. 2 sorts of soup will be on offer, one of which will be vegetarian. Further details will be issued by email nearer the date of this walk.
