Welcome to The Watercress Way

Could you be a Trustee?

The Watercress Way (registered charity 1167675) seeks new trustees.

The charity has been in existence for nearly 4 years. We have negotiated with land owners, local authorities and the South Downs National Park to establish a circular marathon length walking trail, using disused railway lines and historic rights of way NE of Winchester.

Cyclists and horse riders can use much of the route, with alternative sections and loops.

In light of the guidance on social distancing advised by the Government in relation to the Coronavirus the Trustees have decided to CANCEL this event. We will hold some guided walks later in the year when it is safe to do so.

You can now donate to The Watercress Way via the LocalGiving online donating service.
