Twyford circular approx 5.5 miles 7/11/2012

Easy going
Length: Approx 5.50 miles
Time: Approx 2.50 hours at strolling pace

Ascent: +-116m


1. We parked in Hazeley Road. There are some spaces opposite the houses just before the start of the walk. This is looking back just after we started walking. At the end of the walk the path comes out by the tall trees on the corner.

















2. Young Red Angus I think.

















3. I guess Morestead Stables use this course for training racehorses. It was run by Brendan Powell until 2005. I couldn't find out if it's still used.

















4. Anybody know what this fruit is? I think it might be wild black cherry. It looks edible.

















5. What happened to the summer?

















6. Winchester in the distance.

















7. Skirting the base of St. Catherine's Hill this is an unusual valley.

















 8. The steps to the top of St. Catherine's Hill. Not for us today!!

















 9. All that's left of St. Catherine's lock. A water wheel used to sit in the curved brickwork and power a saw mill.

















10. I know this one. Spindle.






















11. The River Itchen. A beautiful river but the peace and quiet along this stretch is spoilt by the constant noise from the motorway.

















12. British White cattle.

















13. St. Mary's Church from the water meadows.

















14. St. Mary's Church.
