Alton Group help local people enjoy walking and protect the places we all love to walk. We organise regular walks led by our own members – a great way to get outside, make new friends and discover how walking boosts your health and happiness. You are very welcome to try walking with us, or to get involved in looking after our local paths and green spaces with our footpath teams. 

We cover a large area of East Hampshire and the South Downs, with an interesting variety of scenery. There is always a mid-week walk of approximately 5 miles, and frequently longer ones as well including a regular Sunday walk, normally of about 10 miles, in addition there are some walking breaks away. Details of our walks can be found on the Ramblers™ website. We are a very friendly group and enjoy a range of social events. Our priority is for all our members to enjoy their walking and membership. We have published a book called

Walks from Alton and we are looking for new members now.

St Swithun's Way - A 34 mile long-distance walk from Winchester to Farnham

St Swithun’s Way runs between Winchester, the capital of Saxon England, and historic Farnham. Whilst not tracing the original route of the Pilgrim’s Way, as much of this is now the busy A31, St Swithun’s Way follows some of the county’s best countryside paths. Starting at Winchester Cathedral, the route weaves its way east through the picturesque Itchen Valley, taking in several pretty and unspoilt Hampshire villages, enabling the walker to visit numerous churches with pilgrimage connections and take a well-earned rest in welcoming country pubs.

Continuing northeast, it passes through the attractive market towns of Alresford and Alton, as well as Chawton, the home of Jane Austen. Opportunities also abound for the walker to combine a trip with a ride on the Watercress Line, Hampshire’s steam railway which runs through this section of countryside. Following the path of the River Wey, the route reaches Farnham in Surrey, a town with strong links with Winchester. Here, the route continues to Canterbury as the North Downs Way National Trail.
