A really nice varied route. The fast majority of it is really wide too. Very quiet on an overcast autumn week day.

The Meon Valley Trail is a ten mile (16 km) multi-user trail that follows a disused railway track through the Meon Valley. It's basically flat and suitable for most users; this means it's well-used by families and horses, so you can't race.

The South Downs Way passes over Old Winchester Hill, affording views as far as Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. The hill is a wildlife-rich National Nature Reserve and Iron Age hill fort.

This was on the last leg of the King Alfred’s Way for me and was one of the few descents in the whole trip i walked, dry conditions but on a loaded gravel - the descent was more treacherous than i was prepared to risk / but amazing views from the top and a fast through the fields ride from the bottom.
