Wayfarer's Walk

Hampshire, W Berkshire

114 km / 71 miles

A walk linking the highest downland in southern England to the mud flats along the coast, following tracks used by shepherds driving their sheep to fairs.
The start at Inkpen Beacon coincides with the Test Way and the early stages are along a ridgeway over Walbury Hill and Watership Down.
Passing through the villages of Dummer and Hinton Amper, it then goes through the Meon Valley before crossing the chalk ridge of Portsdown.
The final section of the walk coincides with the Solent Way.
