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

After lunch the walk will ascend Shawford Down and continue via Yew Hill and Whiteshute Ridge to St Cross where there may be a brief tea stop, before continuing back to Winchester. The last 0.75 miles will be on lit pavements.
