Overview

The Itchen Way is a 51.2 km long-distance footpath following the River Itchen from its source near Hinton Ampner House to its mouth at Woolston.  The Way finishes at Sholing railway station.  The Eastleigh Ramblers Itchen Project comprises a series of circular walks which encompass the complete Itchen Way.  Leg 7, the final one, leaves Weston Parade Car Park and reaches Sholing railway station via the Itchen Way then heads to Bitterne Manor railway station to return to Weston Parade Car Park via the Itchen Way.

This walk replaces Itchen Project Leg 5 due to flooding of the river.
