The Clarendon Way, Oliver’s Battery to Winchester Distance: 3.5 miles Start: Oliver’s Battery A 24 mile walk joining the two Wessex cities of Winchester and Salisbury The Clarendon Way crosses the Test Valley between Kings Somborne and Houghton. It starts beside the waters of the Itchen in the heart of Winchester and ends near the Avon at Salisbury Cathedral. The Clarendon Way is named from Clarendon Park on the eastern edge of Salisbury. The Park contains the site of Clarendon Palace, a royal hunting lodge for Norman Kings, but later expanded by the Plantagenets into a great county house. Almost nothing remains now, only a few feet of flint wall lying a few yards from the Clarendon Way. From the Itchen Valley the route climbs to Oliver’s Battery, a hill from which the Roundheads bombarded Winchester in the Civil War, then on to Farley Mount, an extensive informal Country Park managed by Hampshire County Council. It goes on through Parnholt Wood, via Kings Somborne to the Test Valley and Houghton, then across open farmland to the valley of the Wallop Brook and the village of Broughton, a convenient half-way point. West from Broughton the route follows a Roman road through Buckholt to Winterslow, crosses the hills with fine views to the village of Pitton, then passes through the woods of Pitton, then passes through the woods of Clarendon Park. Emerging from the woods the spire of Salisbury Cathedral beckons from the Avon Valley two miles ahead. Directions After passing through the housing estate at Oliver’s Battery, walkers cross a main road on a footbridge and descend via an old track, Whiteshute Lane to St Cross. They then follow the network of streams along the Itchen Valley, past the Winchester College playing fields to the City centre. .

Pitton Village Flood Plan
PITTON VILLAGE FLOOD PLAN This plan is intended to assist Pitton in preparing for any future flood, giving details of the operational aspects for mitigating the effects of flooding, e.g. protecting property and managing the flood. Pitton villagers have supported the creation of this plan, together with the establishment of a Support Group and a Flood Warden. Information for anyone affected by flooding, plus the responsibilities of volunteers in Pitton and other organisations are described in the following pages. The actions expected of each organisation are listed in the plan, but that does not mean to say that the organisations necessarily accept that it is their responsibility to do so. Flooding is caused by high groundwater During the flooding that Pitton periodically suffers from • Some houses in the centre of the village are liable to flood. • The High Street and Black Lane suffer from high water levels, which cause closure and inconvenience. • The elderly and less able of the locality suffer hardship and need help. • Some householders require Portaloos, or have to use upstairs facilities. • There is some disruption to business. • Some deliveries cannot be made to the village shop. • Some days children cannot get to Salisbury schools. • Access becomes difficult to many properties & cars become waterlogged. • Gardens get flooded. Key contacts for villagers are: Pitton Village Flood Action Group: Flood Warden Rod Coppock 01722 712 469 Deputy Tracy Combes 01722 712 540 Flood Action Group Chairman James Sinclair 01722 712 220 Information Centre - Pitton Village Stores Rachel Morrison 01722 712 213 Salisbury District Council 24-hour emergency service 01722 411676 It is anticipated that the problems caused by flooding will change as the Authorities take various actions.
