Meon Valley Hampshire

The Meon Valley Hampshire

Meon Valley Hampshire – an area of outstanding  natural beauty within a couple of hours cycling distance at a slow/moderate pace of my home.

Trails

The South Downs Way, Monarch’s Way, Pilgrim’s Trail and Wayfarer’s Walk are long distance trails / walks  through the Meon Valley

Solitude in grey: even in winter the hills and paths of the Meon retain a quiet, still beauty. South Downs Way, Beacon Hill near Warnford.

The Meon Valley Trail

Once a railway line running from Fareham to Alton. The Meon Valley Trail runs from Wickham to West Meon and has recently been ‘graded’ to allow easy  access by walkers, cyclists and horse riders

Cycling

There are a few challenging climbs for cyclists, particularly Old Winchester Hill from Warnford, Beacon Hill from Exton and the short (ish) climb up Butser Hill by Harvesting Lane

The county town of Hampshire is Winchester, the former capital city of England

This is a long term project to photograph the Meon Valley Hampshire through the seasons mainly using a bicycle for transport! Click on any thumbnail below to view the pictures in a gallery
