Winchester Hiking Trail 2026

The Winchester Off-Road Hike returns for its fourth year, and with over 1,000 participants taking on the hike last year, it's one not to miss!

Kick-start your 2026 walking season and stay true to those New Year's resolutions on a route that perfectly balances challenge with enjoyment.

Set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside just outside Winchester on the stunning tracks, bridleways, and footpaths that surround the famous Farley Mount. This local landmark is the jewel in the crown of this rewarding Hiking Event.

Starting from the well-equipped Sparsholt College there is plentiful hard-standing parking and the picturesque and unspoiled route. The route is rolling rather than hilly, so will ease you into your new year of walking.

The route consists of visually rewarding tree-lined sections and spectacular vistas over the Hampshire countryside and a little climb up to Farley's Mount on the Epic route.

Regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new hikers to our events and have 2 route lengths to choose from. As soon as you complete your walk, you'll be greeted with a high-quality medal, a cool drink, and a selection of finisher goodies.
