Walderton (Pub - The Barley Mow)

A 15 Mile Practice Ride

First some general notes. The figures in brackets are approx. Mileage from the Ship to key turnings or landmarks so that you can gauge the distance you have ridden. Some of the narrow country lanes need care, particularly if the weather has been bad recently. Please beware of debris, mud or holes, especially if you are riding in a group and cannot see clearly ahead.

Leave the Ship and head towards Havant. Turn right down the Hayling Billy cycle track, when you get to the car park area bear left up the hill and turn right onto the old road towards Emsworth. Follow this road straight through the traffic lights by the One Stop (1.4) straight over the roundabout and under the A27 By-Pass through towards Emsworth.

Follow the main road until the next turn on the left into Selangor Avenue. Follow this road all the way round until the junction with the B2148 (3.0) Horndean Road, turn left and carry on under the railway and motorway bridges. Almost directly after you have passed from under the bridge make a right hand turn into New Brighton Road, be careful crossing this sometimes busy road.

At the end of New Brighton Road you come to a mini roundabout (3.8) turn right at this roundabout towards Westbourne, carry on into Westbourne. At the square bear left and follow the road round until you get to River Street on your right (4.4). Turn into River Street and follow this road, past the junction with commonside until the T-junction with the main road (5.1). Turn right across this road (Be careful traffic can be fast on this corner), follow the road and as you reach the top of the rise, and the road starts to bear right, take the left turn down the single track lane (5.4).

Follow this lane to the T-junction with the B2147 and take a left turn towards Walderton (6.2). Follow this road for a mile or so until you come to the second right turn on this road - on your left you will see some water works buildings (7.2). Take this right turn and travel a short distance down this road and The Barley Mow is on the left. This is our lunchtime stop (7.4).

Having taken refreshment, come out of the pub and turn right. At the end of the road turn left back onto the B2146. Follow this road for just under two miles and at the junction at the top of the hill turn right (9.2) almost immediately turn left towards Westbourne, follow this road for about a mile all the way down to Westbourne.

Go through Westbourne and straight over the mini roundabout into Southleigh Road (11). At the next Junction go straight over Horndean Rd (right and then left dogleg) staying on Southleigh Rd toward Denvilles.

Go over the railway crossing and on to the traffic light junction with the main Havant Road (13) turn right and continue until you reach Havant. Turn right at Havant Museum (13.5). Retrace your steps from earlier back to the Ship at Langstone (14.6).
