Overview

Ok, 2nd attempt after storm Darragh led to the postponement of this walk.

We start from the car park next to Shawford railway station. Please meet 15 minutes ahead of the walk start time. Heading towards Twyford, briefly on the Monarch's Way before heading north to join the Pilgrims Trail. We then pick up the path on the edge of Hockley Golf Club to join the Itchen Navigation tow path back to Shawford.

Dogs welcome with well behaved owners. Lead essential until we're well out of Twyford and for crossing a couple of roads.

Bring a packed lunch.
