# Allan King Way
## Portchester to Winchester

A 44-mile linear walk across Hampshire, created in the 1990s by Hampshire Area as a memorial to Allan King, a former publicity officer who helped set up several groups in the county. The route is waymarked and described in Richard Kenchington's guidebook, which was imported onto this site as a single page. This set of pages is a demonstration of the route row: each stage is a walk in its own right, with a map, generated directions, start details and a write-up.

The original imported guidebook remains at [Allan King Way (imported guide)](https://hampshire.ngx-ramblers.org.uk/information/find-a-walk/allan-king-way-pdf).

## Getting there

Start at Portchester station (trains from Portsmouth, Fareham and Southampton) or at the castle car park. Finish at Winchester station. Linear stages work well with a bus or a second car at the far end.

## Parking

There is parking at Portchester Castle, Fort Nelson, Bishop's Waltham and in Winchester. Street parking at the smaller villages is limited.

## Refreshments

Cafes at the castle and Fort Nelson, The Chairmakers at World's End, pubs in Soberton, Bishop's Waltham, Upham and Itchen Abbas, and plenty of choice in Winchester.
