ロムジーのおすすめランニングルート

長い散歩に最適なセクションです。冬の間は泥に注意してください。

Nice walk past the water Mill where you can either go left out into farm fields and into woods towards Shootash or turn right out go into Romsey through the Memorial Park.

The path leading from the station comes out here. You can choose to go left or right. Left will take you towards the nature reserve. Right will take you towards Romsey town centre.

King John's House is a wonderful place to explore the medieval, Tudor and Victorian buildings. The gardens were officially opened in 1995 and are brilliantly presented, with colourful flowers and multiple benches where you can sit and relax in this peaceful garden. There are also tea rooms onsite.

The Sadler's Mill, which is now a private residence, has a varied history. First recordings of the mill are dated back to the 16th century and it was originally used as a corn mill. Lord Palmerston bought the Sadler's Mill around 1740. At this time, there was a mill for fulling (part of the cloth making process) and a mill for corn. In the 20th century, an electric generator replaced the corn milling, to act as a backup electricity supply for the Broadlands estate. Until the water flow was altered in the 1990s, this spot was a brilliant place to watch salmon leaping through the river, as they swam upstream to spawn.

The Romsey War Memorial Park is a lovely, relaxing place beside the River Test. The park was opened in 1920 after money was collected for a First World War memorial. There are various war memorials within the park and a bandstand in the centre. Facilities within the park include a cafe, children's playground and toilets.

Romsey Abbey is the largest parish church in Hampshire, and well worth a visit to admire the Norman architecture. The nave was built in the 12th and 13th century and consists of large Norman piers. Originally, the abbey was a nunnery, setup in the 10th century. Highlights include 2 saxon roods, a 16th century reredos and a tomb of King Charle's great uncle (Lord Mountbatten of Burma). There is no charge for admissions and open daily for visitors.

Quite small and no room for bikes but bike racks about 20m away. Alternatively, rest your bikes and your butt on the Romsey rose statue directly opposite.
