Step 1: Welcome to Eastleigh! This is the third and final section of the Itchen Navigation walk. In this segment, we’ll walk to Southampton.
Step 2: 🚨 May 2025 - we have had user reports that the path alongside Southampton Airport is very overgrown with nettles and brambles. The river had also washed away some of the path in places. The council are being informed. 🚨
Step 3: The Itchen Navigation is well sign posted. As it follows the route of a waterway, the trail is mainly flat and level. However there are some locations with stiles, gates or gradients. Additionally, the route can get muddy and wet.
Step 4: Be sure you've packed plenty of water and snacks, and you’re wearing good, comfortable walking shoes.
Step 5: When you're ready, we'll head out from the railway station in Eastleigh. The station is served by frequent Southwestern Railway trains coming from Weymouth, Southampton, Salisbury, and London Waterloo.
Step 6: Out of the station building, head to the right, towards and along the pavement beside Station Hill.
