Overview

Via Stocks Lane Farm and South Downs Way. First of two walks, morning and afternoon, which can be combined with a picnic break or done separately.

We take a short walk along the Meon Valley Trail before leaving on a footpath and gradually ascend to join a lane which takes us past Pondside Farm with extensive views across the countryside. Once at our highest point we will take a footpath descending to Stock's Lane and then onwards to the foot of Old Winchester Hill where The South Downs Way will be followed to re join The Meon Valley Trail back to Meonstoke village hall.
