About this Event

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

This is a circular walk starting from Winchester Cathedral. We will have some easy walking along the River Itchen bank, before skirting St Catherine’s Hill. We have a moderately steep ascent to the Golf Course which we cross before descending to Twyford. We then return to the start point via Compton lock and the River Itchen.

There are both woodland tracks and field footpaths, so after some rain it may be muddy in places. The pace will be moderate but does include some quite steep sections, so walking poles may be useful if you have them.

The walk will start at 11.30am and we expect to finish around 2pm. There will be a short break midway for snacks and drinks. There are no toilet facilities but a few wooded sections on route should that be needed.


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).
