We are the Alton Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We will walk the start (or end) of the South Downs Way, climbing out of the historic city of Winchester onto the Hampshire downs and following the SDW to Gander Down. Here we will leave the long distance path and follow footpaths and tracks through the pretty village of Cheriton and across the site of the Battle of Cheriton into New Alresford. There should be plenty of Hampshire countryside views to enjoy.
Catch the number 64 bus to Winchester leaving Alton Railway Station at 09.15, Four Marks Station Approach at 09.31, Alresford Co-op at 09.45 arriving in Winchester at 10.05. Leader will get on the bus in Alresford. The walk will end in New Alresford for your return on the number 64 bus which runs every 30 minutes. Bring snacks, lunch and plenty of drink. Wear suitable sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. The walk is on good paths but expect some uneven going and it to be slippery if wet. Toilets and refreshments at start and end of walk only.
