Private Walks and Talks
Speakers, walks and coach tours for private groups
In addition to our walks around the villages of Eastleigh Borough, we can also provide longer countryside walks, generally lasting approximately 4 hours. These run along the Hamble River, the Itchen Navigation and through various nature reserves, open spaces and woodland. There is also a more challenging day long walk along the Strawberry Trail, which covers the length of Eastleigh Borough. We also offer guided coach tours around the Borough.
