The Highs and Lows of Winchester (Winchester Walking Weekend)

 A circular walk from the front of Winchester Cathedral, taking in local landmarks, a golf course and urban Winchester.

A hilly and challenging walk for the first 40 minutes, 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.

This Walk is part of the Winchester Walking Weekend Programme.

• For this walk, all participants, including Ramblers, need to book through Eventbrite using the link below.
• Any walkers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  The minimum age to join this 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.
• All walks will have a snack stop or two, to be decided by the walk leader. 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).
