For your guide to everything there is to see and do in the National Park visit southdowns.gov.uk/discovery-map RIVER ITCHEN One of the three main sources of the River Itchen lies just to the south of Cheriton. The Itchen is considered to be one of the best chalk rivers in Britain with its crystal clear waters filtered over thousands of years through the porous chalk of the South Downs. Renowned for the quality of its fly fishing, access is restricted to the river and few footpaths run along its banks. Fortunately, within a three-mile stretch of the upper Itchen, five footbridges cross the river – this leaflet shows you how to make use of them to create a lovely circular walk. Don’t forget your binoculars to spot lots of wildlife on the river. #village #cheriton #hampshire #villagelife #villagelifestyle #thebattleofcheriton #walking #vlogger #youtuber #gopro #vlog #vlogs #chalkriver #travel #visit Music I use: Bensound.com License code: X1AZUD4K7V92FSAO Scottholmesmusic.com
