Tips from the Community
The terrain was easy going except for part of the journey is along a road with no pavement ( approx 500m ). Recommend walking shoes in the winter

easy walk if not a little narrow and overgrown in places. The last section is along the pavement, so it is not as picturesque

Part of the now-defunct Itchen Navigation canal, this is a majestic lock just north of Eastleigh. Allbrook lock is one of only two brick-constructed locks on the Navigation and so remains in excellent condition. Water flows down its stair-like structure, making a sort of artificial waterfall.
