The Faladoon Nature Reserve is a peaceful, lesser-known area, historically associated with Winchester College, that lies alongside the internationally important River Itchen chalk stream. Located near Winchester, this reserve forms a green corridor that offers tranquil walks, including a loop that connects to the historic Hockley Railway Viaduct. The area is significant for its diverse flora and fauna typical of a managed chalk-river flood plain, providing habitat for various bird species like kingfishers and woodpeckers, and serving as a key spot for local wildlife enthusiasts and conservation groups like the Conchological Society due to the presence of rare mollusc species.

St Catherine's Hill is a prominent chalk downland hill on the outskirts of Winchester, notable for its layered historical and ecological importance. Now a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) managed as a nature reserve, its summit is ringed by the impressive earthworks of a univallate Iron Age hillfort dating back over 2,000 years. The top is marked by a distinctive copse of beech trees, known as 'The Clump', which contains the scant ruins of the 12th-century St Catherine's Chapel, while the hillside features a turf-cut labyrinth known as the Miz-Maze; the entire site provides spectacular views over the city, the Itchen Valley, and supports a rich variety of wildflowers and butterflies, including the protected Chalkhill Blue.

Beautiful path along the river, whether you hike or paddle - it is simply wonderful to be able to enjoy pure nature here

A really nice varied route. The fast majority of it is really wide too. Very quiet on an overcast autumn week day.

Enjoy the views

longer than I thought worth a ride along

From the East Winchester park & ride (parking £4 cash or Ringo app) it is a beautiful half-hour walk along the Itchen to the center of Winchester. For those 4 pounds you can also take the bus there and back, but then you will miss this beautiful green part of Winchester.
