Itchen Navigation Walk
'At a total distance of about 11 miles between Woodmill and Winchester, the Itchen Navigation can be walked from end to end in a day by anyone reasonably fit. Alternatively the walk can be split into shorter sections ... Now designated part of the Itchen Way (running from Woolston to Cheriton), much of the path that follows the Navigation is not in the best of repair although passable. Parts of the path are eroded and, as it was originally built out of chalk rubble, the path can be quite slippery in all but the driest weather.'
'Using public transport it is fairly easy to make a one way walk into a round trip. The Winchester to Southampton railway line parallels the waterway and the train is a convenient way to do this. Swaythling station is about half a mile north of Woodmill, Eastleigh station is quarter of a mile west of Stoke Bridge, Bishopstoke. Shawford station is less than a hundred yards from the Navigation. Winchester station is the most inconvenient at about a mile west from Blackbridge Wharf. Trains usually run at hourly intervals between these stations.'
