The route for bikes skirts the bottom of the fort instead of heading straight over it, so you're in for a steep climb, but if you've got the time it's well worth poking your nose around. Little remains of the fort itself except for the substantial earthern ramparts – but even if you decide to press on, the views are fantastic.

Great views from the Top of Old Winchester Hill. Well worth the effort

Brilliant chalky descent and grassy or gravelly tracks from the top, if you're following the King Alfred's Way from East Meon Springs.
