Part of the Winchester Walking Weekend 2024.
Heading south east from the cathedral, we'll climb to enjoy fine views of the city and return past historic buildings.
This 10 mile walk takes us through Winchester to the Itchen Navigation Path, up St Catherine’s Hill, down the steps and onto Compton Lock. Through Hockley Golf Course, high path with views to St Catherine’s Hill, across 5 Bridges Road, along the Viaduct and footpath to St. Cross Hospital.
We walk back to Winchester along the river, passing Winchester College to return to Winchester Cathedral by 3.00pm.
Walking along hard standing paths and across fields, there are no stiles, but there are two quite steep climbs and a descent, which is via steps.
Mid-morning break at Twyford Church.
Picnic lunch with views of St. Catherine’s Hill.
