Overview

A lovely walk around the quiet lanes and paths out of the red doored village of Southwick north of Fareham and Portsmouth.

The walk takes us past the house where Field Marshall Montgomery lived at the time of D-Day and up onto the top of Portsdown Hill with its fine views of Portsmouth, the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

Stretches of the walk may be muddy if there has been a spell of rain.

Well behaved dogs welcome.

Afterwards for those interested at the Golden Lion pub, Southwick.
