A couple of my friends have started to do some local walks at the weekend in preparation for a coming walking holiday in Wales. We started this walk a couple of weeks back and did the Portsdown Hill to Southwick part but got lost trying to go back on the second part of the walk.
The guide book we were using was a bit imprecise so this time armed with a map we tried to redo the second part of the walk.
It was mostly a success, some very nice countyside on the outskirts of Portsmouth. We made one wrong turn which added a couple of miles to the 5 mile walk. This turned out to be a blessing as it allowed us to do all of the Wayfarer's trail. This then led onto Purbrook Heath road and past Southwick house. The final part of the walk was a hill climb back to the top of Portsdown.
I hardly knew all this countryside existed and it's hard to believe you are less than a mile from one of the densely populated cities in the country (Portsea island).
