Tichborne's thatched cottages

Highlight • Historical Site

Tichborne manor was given to the Bishop of Winchester by Edward the Elder over a thousand years ago and the village has become populated with a glorious cluster of historic buildings in the intervening centuries. If you're passing through on a hike, it's well worth exploring this South Downs village to find its pretty thatched cottages and church.

River Itchen

Highlight • River

The River Itchen rises just to the south of here, flowing 26 miles (42 km) to meet Southampton Water below the Itchen Bridge. It's a classic, crystal clear chalk stream where you can often spot trout, darting between the deeper pools.
