The River Itchen, one of England's finest chalk streams, is particularly pretty as it winds from Winchester to its source near Cheriton. This footbridge feels utterly hidden away under a canopy of trees and with the river chuckling along beneath. Part of the Itchen Way long-distance footpath, this is a picturesque spot to relish in the peace.
