The Clarendon Way follows an ancient sunken track just behind the photographer - Whiteshute Lane. But the views are better from the track on the hillside that parallels the lane.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Badger Farm Road (A3090) leads down to the roundabout where it meets Hockley Link , Otterbourne Road and St Cross Road (B3335). Whiteshute Lane bridleway crosses the road, just in front of the car coming up the hill. This view is from the footbridge across Badger Farm Road, a safer way to cross.

Dist:0.2km<br/>If you can't find the footbridge, and find yourself beside the busy road, turn round, go up the slope, turn left past the metal barrier, and keep round to the left!

Dist:0.2km<br/>This footbridge carries the Whiteshute Lane and Clarendon Way (Winchester-Salisbury) footpaths over Badger Farm Road. Constructed as B road in the 1970s, the road was later used to divert the A3090 and is now notorious for surface noise.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Whiteshute Ridge is an area of "traditional downland" to the southeast of Badger Farm (the housing estate seen in the middle distance). In the far distance Winchester Cathedral is an obvious landmark.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Bushfield Camp was an army training camp functioning during WWII and also used to train recruits to the Royal Green Jackets regiment between 1961-64. The internet is strangely silent about its history. It is totally derelict today. The area is the subject of an ongoing debate as to its future use.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking towards St Cross from a crossroads of bridleway and restricted byway on Compton Down, a short distance south of Badger Farm. The 33kV power lines overhead come from the 132/33kV substation near Olivers Battery, and go down to 33/11kV substations in Lower Stanmore Lane and Gordon Road. (Thanks to Peter Facey for the power line information).
