Site information checklist .100

Welcome to the Autumn 2017 edition of the Backpackers Club Long Distance Path Directory (LDP).
The Farm Pitch Directory (FPD) and the LDP take advantage of the opportunities offered by information
processing technology and as a consequence are now easier to maintain as well as there being greater
consistency between the two documents.
Nevertheless, many entries are still old and have not been confirmed or updated in more than 10 years. This is
improving but there is still a need for revisions and updates, particularly in less frequented parts of the country.
There are also still many sites where little information is available. Hopefully, in time, we will manage to refresh
the entire directory.
As a club member this is YOUR directory. The quality of the information depends on YOU and your fellow
members. You are encouraged therefore to let the LDP/FPD secretary know when you visit a site. Is it still
there? Have the details changed? What about the cost and the standard of facilities provided? No snippet of
information is too small to be of importance. Even the fact that a site still exists could make the difference
between an enjoyable pitch or an unpleasant search for a place to camp on a cold wet night after a long day.
To help you with this, and for ease of recording new sites, an information checklist is provided at the back of the
directory. There is also an electronic form on the club website which prompts for essential information and passes
it on the LDP/FPD secretary in a form that greatly simplifies update.
Finally you are reminded that an entry in the LDP or FPD does not confer any right for you to camp there.
ALWAYS obtain permission before pitching. Where an entry refers to “Cars” it means that vehicles can normally
be left there, but you must check the arrangements first. Similarly where dogs are permitted on site they must be
well behaved and under direct control at all times. Failure to act in a responsible manner could jeopardise future
use of the site by other Club members. Please also remember that neither the owner of the site nor the
Backpackers Club will accept any responsibility for loss or damage to tents, vehicles or their contents while left
unattended.

NB: The Avon Valley Path is a natural 36 mile extension to the Clarendon Way from Salisbury to
Christchurch Priory. It is a very wet route through water meadows but good for springtime flowers. Pubs are
frequent with shops in Downton, Fordingbridge & Ringwood. It is well signposted apart from around the A354.
The only recognised camping is the Caravan Clubsite at Ibsley - the others are well off route and most only open
in summer. However there are many wild camping opportunities provided you avoid flooding and cattle in the
water meadows and ponies in the New Forest.

Isle of Wight Coastal Path
A 68 mile coastal path round the IoW from Ryde. It may be taken in either direction but the signs may be easier
to spot going clockwise. Landslips and lack of footpath maintenance by the local council has led to many inland
detours and there is a lot of street/promenade walking. The best parts are around Newtown in the north and over
Tennyson Down in the south. As of 2014 the IoW is to be included in the English Coastal Path scheme with the
expectation of additional funds for path repair.

IBSN 978-1-903568-61-3 £4.95. Provides detailed descriptions of the route over a five day schedule, with
photographs, lists of campsites, pubs and visitor attractions.
Shops & POs at Ryde, Cowes, Yarmouth, Totland, Ventnor, Shanklin & Bembridge. There are numerous pubs
and cafes serving food.
Campsites can get very busy in summer and during festivals and advanced booking is advised. The large
commercial campsites generally have cheap bar meals, but no real ale. Island youth hostels are expensive
(£25+).
Ferries to the island are expensive but generally timed to connect with mainland rail services: Portsmouth to
Ryde or Fishbourne, Southampton to Cowes, and Lymington to Yarmouth. Island buses run to/from Newport until
after 11pm which makes this a good base for the walk.
Places of interest: Bembridge Windmill (NT), Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Isle of Wght Pearl, Freshwater Bay

Monarch's Way
The Monarch's Way was created by Trevor Antill following the route taken by Charles II to escape from the
pursueing Roundheads after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester. Whilst it goes via every place the king is
known to have stayed at, drunk in, or passed through, it avoids roads wherever possible using only public rights
of way. It is shown on current editions of Ordnance Survey maps and is generally well waymarked, but rarely
signposted. The waymark is a ship above a crown and oaktree, on a white or yellow background. The ship
indicates the direction to be taken.
At 615 miles, it is the longest inland path in the UK and is described in 3 guidebooks by Trevor Anthill available
exclusively through the Monarch's Way Association website: www.monarchsway.50megs.com and are its only
source of income. They are organised as a series of (shortish) day walks between villages usually offering
accommodation with sketchmaps, photographs and points of local history. The Association monitors the condition
of the route and any changes or problem areas are posted on the website.
Book 1 (ISBN 1-869922-52-2) (2nd Edn 2016) 112 pages, covers the first section from Worcester to Stratford-
upon-Avon via Boscobel (180 miles)
Book 2 (ISBN 1-869922-28-X) (2nd Edn 2016) 136 pages, goes from Stratford-upon-Avon to Charmouth (210
miles)
Book 3 (ISBN 1-869922-29-8) 136 pages, covers the 225 miles along the south coast and Downs from
Charmouth to Shoreham.
Worcester to Stratford-upon-Avon via Boscobel
From its starting point at Worcester the route travels north to Boscobel and then south to Stratford upon Avon.

Stratford-upon-Avon to Charmouth
From Stratford the Way continues south via Long Marston SW to Chipping Campden where it clips the start of
the Cotswold Way and then by a more easterly track to Stow on the Wold. It then turns south west towards Bristol
via Cirencester touching the start of the Thames Path near Kemble. South of Bristol it is almost directly south
across the Mendips to Wells, continuing through Somerset almost to Yeovil before turning south west to
Charmouth in Dorset where it meets the SWCP. This section is covered by OS LR maps 151, 163, 173, 172, 183
& 193.

It is mainly a lowland route with much livestock farming with sheep north of Bristol and cattle to the south. Hence
many troughs but no water taps. There are plenty of pubs on route but they generally close in the afternoon.
Backpacking this section is straightforward with recognised campsites at regular intervals and convenient YHs in
Cirencester and Bristol. The North Somerset stretch between Winford and North Wootton is seldom walked and
has a maze of high impenetrable hedges, dense woodland and hidden stiles. A map, compass and the
guidebook are essential.
Transport: Stratford has a rail station and is easy to get to, Charmouth is more difficult, see section 3, below.
There are intermediate stations at Moreton-in-Marsh, Kemble (via Thames Path), Keynsham, Bristol, Castle Cary,
Sherborne & Crewkerne.

Charmouth to Shoreham
From Charmouth the Way initially follows the South West Coastal Path to West Bay before heading inland to
Bridport, Yeovil, Wincanton. Mere, Broughton, Twyford, Hambledon, Rowlands Castle, Arundel, Upper Beeding,
Brighton and finally Shoreham. It is covered by OS LR maps 193, 194, 183, 184, 185, 196, 197 & 198. The route
connects with the SDW and numerous other LDPs. It is primarily a high chalk down route, and hence dry, there
are many pubs along the way, but beware, most close in the afternoon and many all day Monday. It is a difficult
route to backpack: once away from the coast there are few recognised campsites and wild camping is
problematic since it is all farmland or large estates. In Somerset some paths are little used and can be tricky to
follow on the ground.

Houghton Chalk Pit TQ014111 Wild pitch opportunity previously referred to as Amberley Chalk Pits just west of
the public footpath (flght of steps) linking the riverside bridlepath to the George & Dragon pub (⅓m). Believed to
be part of the Duke of Norfolk estate which allowed informal camping here. Originally had a water tap which was
vandalised many years ago and never repaired. Recognised by several campfires in a small glen with
undergrowth and rubbish in bin bags - not very desirable!('14) Reported to be used by groups of youngsters for
all night drinking parties.
Houghton Chalk Pit TQ013110 Wild pitch opportunity. Large flat open short grass clearing in the trees, with a
large central fire pit. Separate path links to riverside bridleway. Clean and tidy ('14) - someone has even planted a

drunken youths, then this is a nice spot. Water from the Arun is often muddy; better from tap outside the

bothy. Original narrow wall access opening now widened and barracaded with bollards. The grass is in good
condition with new turfs covering a former fire pit. Open barn has raised sleeping platform & adjacent doorless
barn clean and litterfree. If they get the water tap by the horse trough working again this would be a nice wild
campsite. (2017 – the trough now contains water but needs filtering!) The verge nearby appears ok for car
parking. Water and toilets at Houghton Bridge Inn at TQ026118 (½m). Water tap outside pub 10yds N of the main

Solent Way
A 60 mile coastal from Milford-on-Sea to Emsworth Harbour; one of the flatest walks you'll ever do rarely 20 foot
above sealevel - the Itchin bridge is a large part of the total ascent of 630 feet! It is part of the E9 - the European
Coastal Path. With the Wayfarer's Walk and the Test Way it forms the Hampshire Triangle - a round walk of
some 150 miles.
Despite having the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth en-route it feels quite rural with eight or so nature
reserves en route. Apart from a short section in the New Forest, you are rarely out of sight of the sea. Along with
the wild life, there is a wealth of naval history, 2000 years of military engineering and more yachts than you can
count! Major attractions: National Motor Museum, Tudor Merchant's House (NT), RN Submarine Museum, HMS
Victory, HMS Warrior, the Mary Rose, Southsea Castle & the Royal Marines Museum.

Milton Common SU675001 Wild pitch opportunity. The stretch between two pubs (The Thatched House near

popular dog waking area. Level, gorse provides shelter and screening from housing and the adjacent golf course,
open to the E. Nearest shop: Eastney 1M south. Unlike other areas in the city, there is no litter or firepits, so the
locals appear not use it for drinking parties. Water must be carried in. Langstone Harbour is a designated nature
reserve. A copse ¾M north of the Old Customs House offers another wild pitch possibility.
Farlington Marshes SU685047 Solent Way ¼M W or E. Bothy/shelter with open south side. Carry in water.
Information point for the Nature Reserve with a list of recent sightings (updated daily). Benches around the walls
make this a useful storm shelter in an emergency. This popular reserve has wardens and is used to graze cattle
so be discreet.
In addition to those listed, there are seasonal sites west of Gosport which are often cheaper.
Trains run to Lymington and New Milton both near the start, and to Emsworth at the finish. The More from Wilts
& Dorset (!) X1 bus service links the first two stations to Milford-on-Sea. Lymington Town, Woolston, Netley and
Portsmouth Harbour are convenient stations along the route. The Hythe and Gosport ferries run frequently until
late evening, but the Hamble ferry stops mid-afternoon outside the summer season.

The Test is a prime trout fishing river and the route runs through rarely visited NW Rural Hampshire. It is easy
walking once you've climbed up to the start - the highest chalk hill in Southern Britain. It can be awkward getting
to the start and there are few campsites along the way. Some street walking is involved and S of Wherwell the
path on the flood plain can be very wet.
There are shops at Kintbury – close to the start – and at Longparish, Stockbridge, Romsey, Totton. There are
also plenty of pubs which tend to be closed on Mondays and in the afternoon - but no water taps or troughs.
Places to visit include Coombe Gibbet, Mottisfont Abbey (NT), Romsey Abbey & Mill, Broadlands, Eling Tide Mill
and the Lower Test Marshes nature reserve.
Trains run to Kintbury close to the start and Totton at the finish. There are also occasional bus services which can
prove unreliable. Hampshire CC publish a large map showing all bus and rail links and there is an outline guide to
the walk at www3.hants.gov.uk/test-way.pdf
The walk is covered by OS LR maps 174, 185, 196.

Wayfarer's Walk
Created in memory of a long serving Rights of Way Officer for Hampshire CC, the walk makes use of old drove
routes. It starts from Inkpen Beacon just inside Berkshire and runs 71m SSE to Emsworth in Hampshire's SE
corner. It has a mixture of high downland, arable farmland, riverside walks and finally the coast and seashore.
Waymarking is generally good and navigation is straightforward. There is no printed guide ('13) (Hampshire CC
has stopped printing them).

The longest single route in Hampshire it passes through quiet villages with some fine views with a number of
good pubs along the way. Easy walking once you've climbed to the start - the highest chalk hill in Southern
Britain. It can be awkward getting to the start and there are few campsites along the way. There are no on-route
services before Alresford except pubs, most of which are closed Mondays and afternoons.
There are shops at Kintbury – close to the start – and at Alresford, Cheriton, Droxford, Hambledon, Denmead,
Emsworth. There are others off route to the E. It is a very dry route north of Alresford (chalk downland). However,
there is a trough at SU447557 on Lower Woodcote Down, Highclare Estate which is the only first day Water
source. The first pub is the Dean Gate Inn (B3400) and the only water tap is at Brown Candover Church on the S
side of the churchyard at SU582397. After Alresford there are plenty of Pubs, cafes & shops - but no water taps
or troughs!
Places to visit include Coombe Gibbet, Highclare Castle (Downton Abbey), Watercress Line (Steam Train),
Hinton Ampner (NT), and 2 miles off route to W, Southwick House (D-Day HQ) & Fort Nelson (Royal Armouries),
Watership Down where red kites hunt the bunnies, and Cheriton battlefield, There are also several hill forts and
from Portsdown Hill there are fine views of Portsmouth, the Solent and the Isle of Wight
Trains run to Kintbury close to the start and Emsworth at the finish, and there is a scheduled service from New
Alresford along the Watercress Line to Alton
Hampshire CC publish a large map showing all bus and rail links and there is a web guide:
www.britishwalks.org/walks/Named/WayfarersWalk.php This seems to be the original text, without the outline
strip map, but with lots of photos. The walk is covered by OS LR maps 174, 185, 196, 197.

pages) from Rucksack Readers or down load Walk the Arran Coastal Way by Gil Campbell for £3.99. Links on

Access from the mainland by ferry www.calmac.co.uk: Ardrossan-Brodick, Claonaig-Lochranza (summer only) or

String road to Blackwaterfoot.
As well as a wide range of shops, pubs and cafes in Brodick, there are good resupply points at Blackwaterfoot
and Lamlash.
The walk may be taken in either direction and could be a 4/5 day extension to the Kintyre Way or the Ayrshire
Coast path. The route includes stretches of quiet roadway, forest tracks and public footpaths. Some difficult
sections, particularly round Dippin Head in the south of the Island and the Cock of Arran in the north, are
understood to have been improved following recent adoption as part of Scotland's coastal path initiative.

Arran straddles the Highland Fault and contains some spectacular scenery as well as wild life ranging from
eagles, sea birds, ducks and divers to otters, seals, minke whales and basking sharks. It can be midgy in the
evenings and on calm cloudy days in the summer months. Beware of ticks (risk of Lyme's disease) particularly in
long grass and bracken in the north of the island where there are large numbers of deer.

Lleyn Peninsula Coastal Walk
95 miles from Caernarfon to Porthmadog. Since 2012 formally part of the Wales Coast Path, so waymarking may
be improved. The Angel pub on the quayside under the castle at Caernarfon makes a good rendez-vous at the
start of the walk while The Ship at Porthmadog performs a similar function at the other end! Many campsites are
shown on the OS map, but not so frequently on the Northern Coast. After halfway things improve, shops, sites
and pubs being a bit more frequent. Sites with an asterisk do not have a formal tariff for backpackers so treat
prices with caution!

Guide Book: The Lleyn Peninsula Coastal Path, pub: Cicerone contains cycling and walking routes with options
as well as circular routes. The guidebook is not essential for route finding, if one has the relevant Explorer maps.
However, different revisions of the OS maps show different routes in places. The guidebook also shows options.
Most pitches are off-route to some degree, so choose the route that suits you. The Wales Coast Path may
clarify the situation or make it even more confusing. There's more information at:

The Three Castles Walk makes an interesting diversion. It runs for 20 miles from Offa's Dyke and connects the
three Norman fortresses of Skenfrith, White Castle and Grosmont that formed a defensive line and regulated
trade routes. It goes through undulating countryside with hidden valleys and secluded historic farmhouses in a
landscape of mixed farming where hedgerows and small woods have survived to keep the area rich in wildlife.
