An easy walk along the Titchfield canal, along the coast and returning to Titchfield through farmland. Starting at the council car park, we will walk through Titchfield and down to the canal, following this all the way to the Solent where we will turn right along the coast. Following the Solent way, we will hug the coast before turning right again and looping back to Titchfield along farm tracks.
The walk will start and finish near Titchfield Abbey and if anyone wants to visit the abbey (it is free of charge), we could do this afterwards. Drinks afterwards will be in the Wheatsheaf.
