Overview

Circular walk from Chesil Street car park, Winchester. This includes a fair amount of quiet-road walking, which is the only way to reach some of the footpaths. I have to admit to traffic noise at the beginning and the end too. Otherwise there are some pleasant country paths ending over the Magdalen Down Butterfly Reserve.
