Downs Way, at Farnham. The route can also be used with the Hangers Way to follow the geological edge of the chalk landscape between the North Downs and the South Downs. St Swithun's Way also links up with the Pilgrims' Trail from Winchester to Portsmouth; this trail then extends across the sea to Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy. The route is a combination of field paths and bridleways, with some sections being very muddy after bad weather. The walk is mostly through sheep country with some horses and cattle, although most paths through the latter fields are segregated.
