Walk a stretch of the stunning South Downs Way from Old Winchester Hill. The South Downs way is an ancient trail running 160km from Winchester to Eastbourne. It can be attempted in one go, or in stages, or you can simply enjoy the scenery on a short circular or 'there-and back' walk. From Old Winchester Hill you can explore the ancient hill fort site and head west towards Beacon Hill and Winchester, or East towards the Meon Valley.
