Cheesefoot Head
There Is A Fairly Small Car Park On A272 But I've Never Stopped There And Been Unable To Park. There Are Several Walks Around This Area But I Prefer To Cross The Road Onto The South Downs Way But A Nice 2 Mile Walk Which I Have Included Photos Of Goes Straight Across Down Instead Of Curving Right After The First Field. It's A Little Less Muddy Than The South Downs Walk That Way Which Is Better In Spring/Summer.

There Are A Few Routes Up St Catherine’S Hill, Which All Start And End At A Convenient Car Park. Once At The Summit, The Walk Can Be Extended To Include The East Side Of The Hill. The Hill Has Been In Use For 3000 Years And The Summit With The Miz-Maze, The Ruined Norman Chapel Buried Under The Beech Trees, And The Deep Iron Age Ramparts, Affords Perhaps The Best View Of Winchester, The Cathedral And St Cross Church, From This Side Of The Valley.
