Avon Valley Path - Hampshire to Dorset
Pete Cook · reviewed over 3 years ago
Great fun and a beautiful walk. We did it over 3 1/2 days doing about 9miles a day staying at pubs on way. Lovely start in Salisbury. The best part is a fair bit of walking in The New Forest. Many stretches are over water meadows. At the end of May, two stretches were impassable but easy to find a road around and two were great fun with water close to the top of your boots. Lots of stinging nettles to contend with as well on seldom used country paths. A lovely walk though and would recommend.

The downloaded route takes you to locked gates and barbed wire fences. I wouldn't use this if I were you. we spent too much time trying to find alternives. The route was probably kosher when done originally but the NT have built fences and erected gates on paths.
