Overview

A linear walk from Dean Rail station to Salisbury Cathedral. Catch the 09.56 train from Salisbury to Dean, or there is a train from Romsey and Southampton arriving at 10.02. The walk is through fields and woodland and passes through Farley and Pitton then follows the Clarendon Way from Pitton to Salisbury. There will be a stop for coffee and for lunch and possibly an extra stop at the Silver Plough at Pitton if that is the group consensus.
