11 Mile Downland Loop Southwards from Winchester

We'll leave Winchester on the Pilgrim's Trail heading South over chalk downland to the pretty village of Owslebury to stop to enjoy our flasks by the 700 year old church.

We'll then continue down into the beech woods of the Hampshire Basin, following the North boundary of Marwell Zoo (keep your eyes peeled for wildlife!), before heading back over the Downs to Twyford for a picnic lunch at Hunter's Park (toilet available).

We'll then complete our loop along the Itchen Way, past St Catherine's Hill and returning to our start point.
