About this Event

Join the walk at the Ramblers stand near the King's Royal Rifle Corps War Memorial, in front of the cathedral.

A hilly and challenging walk, through both inner and outer City neighbourhoods. The walk takes in one of Winchester's oldest cemeteries, as well as providing amazing views from a beautiful golf course path. Pavement and footpath walking combine to provide contrasting walking experiences and vistas.

Care will be taken when crossing the roads encountered.


Please note the following:

  • The walk is free of charge, but you need to book through Eventbrite. Places are limited, so please ensure that you have a booking for each member of your party. (Please be patient, Eventbrite's "Reserve a spot" button sometimes takes a while to load.)
  • The minimum age to walk is 16.
  • Please wear appropriate footwear and clothes according to the weather and length of walk and don't forget sun and rain protection.
  • Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
  • Transport: There is no parking on site and we recommend you use one of the Park and Rides. Winchester bus and rail stations are a short walk from the cathedral.
  • Unfortunately, none of the planned walks will be wheelchair-accessible.
  • Your walk will be led by an experienced Ramblers Walk Leader from the local area.
  • Your walk will finish at the cathedral.
  • This walk will have a snack stop. Please bring your own drinks and snacks, appropriate to the length of the walk. There are no planned stops at pubs, cafés or shops.
  • It's unlikely that the walk will pass any public conveniences, so it's a good idea to use toilets near the cathedral beforehand - at St Maurice's Covert/Market Lane and Abbey Gardens).
