A fantastic, well kept trail that takes you all the way from Wickham up to the South Downs Way at Old Winchester Hill. The trail gets busy at weekends and is popular with dog walkers, cyclists, families out on bikes, walkers etc. Although some sections can get very busy, it's worth it.

The trail is lovely, leading through the Meon Valley and into the South Downs National Park. There are lots of routes to the local villages en-route. You follow the river and go through some beautiful forest areas – you will be up at old Winchester Hill in no time! It's a great route.

Cuppacheeno Café

Highlight • Cafe

A nice little cyclist friendly cafe at the start of the Meon Vally Trail. Plenty of room for bikes and tasty food! It's a bit tricky to spot from the road, its tucked away behind the village shop.
