Dist:0.1km<br/>Apparently being used as a depot whilst maintenance works are being carried out, according to the signs. This is between the A31 (behind) and the M3 (ahead).

Dist:0.3km<br/>The square is divided by two roads running north-south through it. To the left (east) is the A31, part of the original route past Winchester towards Southampton. To the right is the M3 now carrying most of the traffic. The road bends to the right through the square then climbs to the left in the following square to the horizon at Twyford Down. The photo is taken from a footbridge that carries the South Downs Way across both roads.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Part of the old farm building complex now used by Hampshire County Council's Museums and Archives service.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The lane is a cul de sac with this at the end. It is evidently a converted farm. It now serves as the HQ of Hampshire County Council's Museums and Archives service. Surprisingly, HCC owns many farms which it normally rents out to encourage agriculture. I suspect that this one was cut off from its land by the construction of the M3. Seen is the entrance to a courtyard with some modern buildings on the far side.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Traffic from the A31 is about to join the motorway, heading south towards Southampton.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The footbridge carries the South Downs Way out of Winchester (a mile to the left) to Eastbourne (99 miles to the right). The A31 was the original road through this gap between the hills, now superseded by the M3 but still busy in its own right.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Only 20 yards from crossing the M3, this footpath junction seems miles from anywhere. Looking east, the South Downs Way heads left, the route to the right doubles back onto the A31.
