Help connect New Alresford

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 New Alresford’s Slow Ways.

New Alresford—Petersfield

JohnMyerson added Newapet two, a new walk from New Alresford to Petersfield

Walk this route

Ropley village is pleasant, the church was rebuilt in 2022 following a fire in 2014. Near Chawton the route uses a disused railway line before crossing the A32 into the village....

I ran this route on a hot overcast Saturday in mid June, after a good month without rain. I would suggest stopping this route at Rothercombe Farm and swapping to Corpet One, which will take you across some fields to a bridge over the A3 and take you into a nice part of Petersfield and straight down to the shops and station....

Walk this route

This route basically follows a number of waymarked routes, which are variously called Itchen Way, St Swithun's Way, and Allan King's Way on maps and signposts. It can be muddy and/or overgrown in places, depending on the season, but is generally on well defined footpaths or quiet country lanes. It's one of my favourites!...

Walk this route

Muddy and secluded until Fulling Mill, opens up a bit after but remains muddy and inaccessible to those less able to walk unaided. Hilly after Easton but on quiet single lane tarmac road. Three pubs for rest and refreshments but unreliable opening hours, two in Easton, one in Ovington....

Lee Morse

Walk this route

This made it difficult to walk in places but it was all still just about passable. It was mainly off road, on footpaths and permissive pathways across farmland, some sections incorporated B roads/country lanes - which felt safe to walk. I was staying in Winchester and it was very easy to catch the bus back from Alresford at the end of the walk, which was also an opportunity to see a bit more of this lovely county...

Lisa P

Walk this route

The route rises gently from Alresford to Four Marks and descends a bit quicker down to Alton. The route was easy to follow except, just before Ropley, St Swithun's Way where it leaves Tegg Down Road is not passable or is wrongly placed on the map. There is a small shop and post office along the route at Ropley and a garden centre at Four Marks with a cafe. The route was easily passable but with styles, gates, narrow tracks and the A31 & A32 to negotiate2...

Good varied walk, easier walking from Winchester to Alresford rather than other way round. Can be a bit muddy at Cheesefoot Head when wet and later in summer some areas can be a bit overgrown....

Leesa added Winnew three, a new walk from Winchester to New Alresford

Walk this route

As with Winnew one, this route is suitable for walkers only - indeed it shares the same inaccessible centre section from Martyr Worthy to Itchen Abbas. It has much less road walking, which makes it superior to route one, but I think we can still do better....

Ian Deeley

Walk this route

This route is unsuitable for all except walkers (too many obstructions), so I can only review this as a walking route, and have to mark down the rating accordingly. After a surprisingly short section alongside roads out of Winchester (about 1km), the route is then mostly off-road for the next 8-9km - a pleasant countryside walk, though it gets rather muddy on the approach to the A34/A33 underpass. From there, it is 3km of road walking, albeit in lovely surroundings, until you reach the outskirts of New Alresford....
