Help connect Fareham
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Fareham’s Slow Ways.

A good route through farmland (mostly crops rather than animals) with some nice little bits of woodland. Reasonably easy to find with signposts at key junctions. The route is partly road, the rest being a mix of wide flat farm tracks and some narrower sections along the edges of fields which are steep in places and get very muddy in the winter....

The new Stubbington bypass forces the uncomfortable but essential detour onto Mays Lane via the Northern section of Old Peak Lane, contingents over the Road and down the southern section of Old Peak Lane might make a neater Route now the bypass will be so very much busier than Titchfield Road via The Old churchyard....

Just before Fort Southwick, there is a dedicated grassy path that then follows the road (on the south side), all the way along the hill until just before the George pub, where the the pavement begins again. The route is reasonably accurate, although personally I would not do the first part of the walk again (Boarhunt Road etc. as it is an extremely busy road)....

This walk takes you through lovely countryside (the gap between Stubbington and Fareham) although ends in the busy town and so around a third of the walk is along roads. The Slow Way is due to have a bypass road opened through the middle of it in late 2021. For now, I would walk it again as it’s a safe route but this will no doubt change when the road is completed....
