England Coast Path Part 6A Southampton to Hamble-le-Rice


 Over The Solent

Distance 7:44 Miles

Time 2:36 Minutes

Elevation Gain 197 Feet

So we are over The Solent heading towards Southampton the weather again is cloudy & sunny with a gentle breeze. 

Starting at the very pretty village of Hamble-Le-Rice we have parked up & the bus is at the stop so a little rushed we get on the bus for the journey to Southampton. 

A faultless journey & we arrive & make our way to the town quay walking to the end as if we had come across the water by boat!

Southampton surprised us a newly developed town with nice clean wide pavements which we had to walk along for some way past Queen's park passing through  Vokes Memorial Park up & over the river Itchen Bridge funnily enough over the river Itchen! passing through a residential area & on to the coast line through a lovely park the Royal Victoria country park but then the path stopped & we found ourselves back on our friends The Pebbles!! 



Luckily this doesn't go on for too long & we are back on pavement. Coming in to Hamble.

Hamble-Le-Rice

The sun is shining on us & we find a cafe for tea & cake meeting a lovely couple with two babies & discover that they are foster parents & have been fostering for many years.
