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.

The Weirs is one of the most picturesque and historically significant areas in Winchester, primarily known for its beautiful riverside walk and its close association with the River Itchen and the city's medieval and Roman past.

A very beautiful and interesting path along the river; there's always something to see and it's never boring. Plus, there's usually a fresh breeze, so it's very pleasant even in warmer temperatures.

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

Lovely quiet roads, watch out for the cattle grids

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

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.
