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

Good local ales and lunch

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.

Coffee, breakfast baps and sweet treats on offer.

Great stop for a nice coffee at the top of Winchester Hill

Gets narrow towards the northern end, watch for horses. Very dark at dusk, take lights if uncertain.

Refreshing to dip you feet in after a long ride.

The Meon Valley Trail passes the spot at Droxford Station where a secret meeting took place in a carriage on a hidden siding on June 2nd 1944. It was between Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower, General Charles de Gaulle, the Canadian leader, President McKenzie King and the South African leader Jan Smuts to discuss the final preparations for D-Day. The station is no longer there and the building has been converted into a private residency but the dense woodland shows how secluded the spot must once have been. There's a small wooden bench here, making it an ideal rest or picnic spot.
