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.
The walk starts in the Cathedral grounds, then follows the St James' and St Swithun's Way next to a channel of the River Itchen to Kings Worthy. The return route crosses over a series of wonderful footbridges across the Itchen river complex at Abbots Worthy, and follows the edge of Easton Down towards Winchester.
The walk enters Winchester by the edge of Winnall Moors, and then climbs St. Gile's Hill for some tremendous views of the city. The final leg takes in the historic landmarks near the Cathedral.
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).
