Lovely quiet roads, watch out for the cattle grids

This was on the last leg of the King Alfred’s Way for me and was one of the few descents in the whole trip i walked, dry conditions but on a loaded gravel - the descent was more treacherous than i was prepared to risk / but amazing views from the top and a fast through the fields ride from the bottom.

This is a beautiful Iron Age hill fort that is now a national nature reserve, and it is a great area to bring the family to enjoy the beautiful views from the top. It has come a long way from being a mortar testing range for the British Army back in WW2.

Avington Park is a historic country estate with rich history that dates back to the 10th century, with the current manor house being constructed in the late 17th century. The estate has been owned by several prominent families throughout the centuries, and it remains a privately-owned property. It's also famous for its serene lake, situated close to the manor house and Avington Park Lane which is part of National Cycle Network route 23.

Avington Park is a private country estate available for private bookings. It dates back as early as 961 and was a priory until Henry VIII took the estate for the crown. Later King Charles II lived here for around 10 years. Occupied by the US army during WW2 it was rescued and restored by the Hickson family after the war.

Trig points within the Old Winchester Hill fort.

Worth the slippery, chalky muddy ascent from Mile End lane - looking forward to repeating the route in summer with less mud!
