Complete the 12 walk challenge in Winchester

We have pulled together walks from four suggested starting points in different parts of the Winchester to create the 12 walk challenge:

King Alfred Statue, Waitrose, Sainsburys and St. Mary’s in Kings Worthy.

We have designed our routes to explore different parts of the city to get some variety and encourage you to try routes that are perhaps a little further away from your house. All walks loop back to the starting point and range from 1/2 hour to 4 hours. More importantly, you can choose any convenient starting point–perhaps you can walk to the nearest point on the route and start there. Here are all twelve walks:

walk#1 – an easy, one hour stroll

walk#2 – wetlands, footbridges and a bit of mud

walk#3 – wildflowers and deer

walk#4 – grand views of the city and farmlands

walk#5 – hill fort and meadows

walk#6 – wild river and parkland

walk#7 – horses, burial mounds and an avenue

walk#8 – 36 holes and a new village

walk#9 – south downs views

walk#10 – railway line and watercress

walk#11 – no man’s land to bluebell heaven

walk#12 – from one sluice to the next
