  • A Walk from St Denys Station to Chandlers Ford Station
    A Walk From St Denys station to Chandlers Ford station Start: St Denys Railway Station Finish: Chandlers Ford Railway Station Distance: 6 miles approx. Time: 2-3 hours A walk between St Denys and Chandlers Ford via River Itchen and the Monks Brook with very little road walking. This walk is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. There are 4 stiles to cross. Take care when crossing any of the roads. Leave St Denys Station on the eastern side, turn right into Adelaide Road and walk to the end and turn left into Priory Road. Follow this until you reach Cobden Bridge (A3035). Cross the road and turn right to cross the bridge on the left hand side, on reaching the other side take the footpath on the left down the slope into Cobden Meadows. Follow this path all the way through Riverside Park, keeping the river on your left. When you reach a road (Woodmill Lane) cross over and continue along the path with the river on your left and the pitch and putt course on your right. Eventually you will emerge at an old stone bridge just before the Mansbridge Road, turn left, crossing the river on the bridge, almost immediately turn left along a path away from the road and follow this - there is an open space and children's playground on the left. The path becomes a pavement and then a path again as it enters woodland with houses on the right. Just before you reach a bridge over a brook, turn right and follow the path through woodland, keeping in the same northerly direction.

Also trains between Havant and Southampton Central. For the full service between Portsmouth, Cosham, Portchester and Fareham, also between Havant and Fareham, please refer to pocket timetable 18. Buy a ticket before you board You need to buy a valid ticket before you board your train. We know that the vast majority of our passengers buy a valid ticket before travelling and we have a duty to those passengers to make sure no one travels without paying. For this reason, we run a penalty fares scheme across most of our network. If you travel to or from a station within the penalty fares area without a valid ticket, you may be liable for a penalty fare of £20 or twice the single fare to the next station at which your train stops (whichever is higher). You will then be required to buy a ticket for the remainder of the journey. We have a policy to prosecute all deliberate fare evaders, wherever possible. Changes to train times Network Rail needs to do engineering work to maintain and improve the rail network. Much of this work is done at weekends and during the holiday periods, but some work also needs to be done overnight during the week.
