Itchen Navigation Pub Walk
Start Woodmill, Southampton
Our annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation towpath, calling in on a few pubs on the way. Depart from
Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 9.30am, reaching Winchester around 3 to 3.30pm. The Black Boy is open again on
Monday afternoons so that is an option, but for the last two years we have been going to the Queen Inn so we may
well stick with that. Possibly we'll go on to other pubs; you can always phone to find out where we are. Later on
we usually finish off with a curry somewhere.
Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am*,
and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. Please note that departure is at 9.30am. Steam Town is a pub and brewery that opened November 2017 and has
quickly found much favour in Eastleigh, and it's on our route - just turn left, not right, at Bishopstoke Road!
*Steam Town very kindly opened early for us at 11am last year, and will do so again this year, so if
joining us at Eastleigh then Steam Town at 11am is the place to be.

Itchen Navigation Pub Walk
Start Woodmill, Southampton
Our annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation towpath, calling in on a few pubs on the way. Depart from
Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 9.30am, reaching Winchester around 3 to 3.30pm. The Black Boy is now closed Monday
afternoons so that is out. Last year we went to the Queen Inn and this was popular so we'll do that again then
probably other pubs (The Black Boy reopens at 5pm); you can always phone to find out where we are. Later on we
usually we finish off with a curry somewhere.
Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am*,
and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. Please note that departure is now at 9.30am once again, following a few
years when there has been no open pub to go to a 11am in Bishopstoke. Steam Town is a micro-brewery and brewery tap that opened November
2017 and has quickly found much favour in Eastleigh, and it's on our route - just turn left, not right, at
Bishopstoke Road!
*Steam Town very kindly opened early for us at 11am last year, and they will do so
again, so if joining us at Eastleigh then Steam Town at 11am is the place to be.

Itchen Navigation Pub Walk
Start Woodmill, Southampton
The return of our annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation towpath, calling in on a few pubs on the way.
Depart from Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 9.30am, reaching Winchester around 3pm. The Black Boy is now closed
Monday afternoons so there will be a new arrangement here, one possibility is to divert slightly to the Queen Inn
which is having a beer festival (https://www.shantscamra.org.uk/beerfestivals/index.php#e1486).
The Bishop on the Bridge is another possibility; you can always phone to find out where we are. Later on we
usually we finish off with a curry somewhere.
Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am*,
and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. Please note that departure is now at 9.30am once again, following a few
years when there has been no open pub to go to a 11am in Bishopstoke. Steam Town is a micro-brewery and brewery tap that opened November
2017 and has quickly found much favour in Eastleigh, and it's on our route - just turn left, not right, at
Bishopstoke Road!
*Steam Town is opening early at 11am especially for us.

Itchen Navigation Pub Walk
Start Woodmill, Southampton
If we've all been released from our prisons and the pubs are open again then we'll have our annual stroll along
the old Itchen Navigation towpath, calling in on a few pubs on the way. Depart from Woodmill Bridge, Southampton
at 9.30am, reaching The Black Boy, Winchester around 3pm. Usually a pub or two more then a curry. Join us en route
if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town,
Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am, and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. As the pubs will
not be open the walk is cancelled for this year. Even just for a walk, social distancing on narrow tow-paths is
impossible. A one-way system anyone?

Itchen Navigation Pub Walk
Start Woodmill, Southampton
An annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation towpath, calling in on a few pubs on the way. Depart from
Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 9.30am, reaching The Black Boy, Winchester around 3pm. Usually a pub or two more
then a curry. Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am, and the Bridge,
Shawford around 1.30pm. Please note that departure is now at 9.30am once again, following a few years when there
has been no open pub to go to a 11am in Bishopstoke. Steam Town is new micro-brewery and brewery tap that opened November
2017 and has quickly found much favour in Eastleigh, and it's on our route - just turn left, not right, at
Bishopstoke Road! [Timing notes from 2019: Woodmill to Steam Town 1:22, to Bridge 1:27, to Black Boy about an
hour]

Itchen Navigation Pub Walk
Start Woodmill, Southampton
An annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation tow path calling in on a few pubs on the way. There are problems on the route due to the winter weather. The Mansbridge to Bishopstoke part is
muddy/wet in places but OK apart from the last bit where we can use Chickenhall Lane instead. From Bishopstoke,
some trees are down across the path, these can be climbed over/under, but the towpath is eroded and under flowing
water between Allbrook & Brambridge. You could take your boots off and paddle, but I'd recommend a diversion
along Highbridge Road & footpaths to get to Brambridge. From Brambridge to Otterbourne water works the tow
path is best despite the mud and the tree across it - the alternative path starts off very boggy. I do
recommend good walking boots this year. If you wear trainers (as I usually do) you are very likely going to get
wet feet. I've put a very comprehensive description on our forum see this post. Depart from
Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 10:30am, reaching The Black Boy, Winchester around 3:30pm. Usually a pub or two
more then a curry. Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at the Anglers, Bishopstoke at midday, and the
Bridge, Shawford around 2.15pm. Please note that the date is Monday 5th May at 10:30. Our
newsletter erroneously said Saturday 11th May which doesn't exist this year anyway, and changed the time.

Not one of our events but very worthwhile. Meet John Bexom, Head Brewer at Greene King for a talk about brewing
with some sampling, and a question & answer session later. John's first event in our area was at The Junction,
St Denys in November and that was very successful. See www.thephoenixinn.co.uk/Meet the Brewer.htm
