Hamble to Southampton - Solent Way - Weekend Walk 36

The 5th stage of the Solent way, east to west. 6 miles, from the Warsash ferry at Hamble to the Hythe Ferry at Town Quay Southampton. From Hamble-le-Rice village, south to the common to pick up Southampton Water shoreline, past Hamble oil terminal to Netley with its Abbey and Victoria Country Park, then to Weston Shore, entering Southampton at Woolston, the aircraft and shipyards long gone, replaced with Centenary Quay. Across the huge expanse of 1977's Itchen Bridge and through part of Southampton old town, with some walls and fortifications remaining.
