Overview

This 8-mile walk, part of the first South Wilts Ramblers walking weekend, starts from the back corner of Petersfinger Park and Ride, Southampton Road. We shall walk through Clarendon Park (woodland) out to Pitton past the remains of Clarendon Palace. Walking is mainly on the Clarendon Way and Old Sarum Way which should be generally good underfoot. There might be stretches of mud and some exposed slippery chalk depending on the weather so good footwear is advisable. There is a mixture of woodland and open downland walking. Map: EX130. 

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Liz P 07768621058) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic)
