The Test Way, Romsey to Eling Distance: 9 miles Start: Romsey A 44 mile long-distance walking route takes you from its dramatic start, high on the chalk downs at Inkpen, to follow much of the course of the River Test to Eling where its tidal waters flow into Southampton Water. This is without doubt Hampshire's longest and finest chalk stream, world famous for its superb trout fishing The way has been divided into 8 sections, each providing a really good day-out. Choose between water meadows or tidal marshes, riverbank picnics or cosy pubs, steep hills with exhilarating views or cool peaceful woodland. The route passes through some of the most picturesque villages in Hampshire, strewn with listed buildings, historic churches and houses. It is well sign posted and waymarked. Horse-riders and cyclists can also use some parts. Directions Walking south from Romsey, you can glimpse the grand Palladian mansion of Broadlands through the trees, once home of the late Lord Louis Mountbatten. The path now hugs the western edge of the valley with its waves of wooded terraces beside you, before crossing the river and taking you through a wonderful nature reserve of reedbeds and saltmarshes that is alive with rare birds and plants. Take care though: this area can be waterlogged at any time of the year. Cross the river for the last time before finishing the Way at Eling Wharf. .

Get out and Walk a Visitors’ Guide to Exploring Test Valley
Get out and walk A visitors’ guide to exploring Test Valley Produced by Test Valley Borough Council in association with Hampshire County Council Countryside Service and the Hampshire Ramblers. 2 Test Valley is fortunate not only to have the longest river in Hampshire, beautiful countryside, a host of charming villages but also 500 miles of rights of way and fantastic open spaces to explore. Danebury Hillfort is owned by Hampshire County Council and Chilbolton Common by the Parish Council. Stockbridge Down, Stockbridge Marsh, Plaitford Common and Mottisfont House are owned by the National Trust. Broughton Down, a local nature reserve and Harewood Forest add ecological and historical Stcid Dw fascination and should not be missed. Msf H Danebury Hillfort 3 Whether you are visiting Test Valley, or already live here, this guide will help you make the most of the countless opportunities to explore the area on foot. It will also point you in the direction for many other walks. DID YOU KNOW Test Valley has more Iron Age Hillforts than anywhere else in Hampshire? Scan the horizon from the vantage of Danebury Hill. On a clear day, it is said you can see at least 5 other hillforts, including Bury Hill to the north, Quarley in the west and Woolbury on Stockbridge Down to the east. All of these fascinating places are accessible to you. Imagine what it may have been like thousands of years ago when Test Valley was a very different place. Its two Roman roads, The Icknield Way and Portway, cast striking lines on the map and are traced in today’s landscape by footpaths, hedgelines and banks.
