Long distance walking route
One of the best known and most accessible long distance walking routes in the UK. The full route runs from Winchester in the west to Eastbourne. In total some 100 miles long. Most walkers tackle it over 7-9 days. Our Airbnb is conveniently situated a days walk from Winchester, where many walkers start. Going east the next stopover is typically Buriton, which is close to Petersfield. As Winchester & Petersfield both have main line railway stations many visitors do these to sections of the route over a weekend.

Corhampton is a beautiful village on the river Meon meandering to the Solent, in the South Downs, a paradise for walkers & cyclists.

We’ve 2 nice pubs within a 10 minute walk, which do takeaways. We’ve lived here since 1997 & happily advise on making the most of your break.
