This walk from the village takes you along the Solent Way to the lovely Titchfield Haven Naure Reserve before leaving the coast to visit the historic Titchfield Abbey.
The route starts at the car park on the sea front in the village. Here you can pick up the Solent Way and follow the waymarked footpath west along the coast to Hill Head and the wildlife rich Titchfield Haven. There's pretty lakes, views of the River Meon and a large variety of wildfowl to see in the popular reserve.
After exploring the reserve you then head north along the River Meon towards the village of Titchfield, Bellfield and Catisfield. Here you can visit the interesting remains of the 13th century abbey which lies just to the west of Fareham.
