The Avon Valley Path is a long-distance path in the English counties of Wiltshire, Hampshire and (for about 2½ miles) Dorset.
The path takes its name from the River Avon. From Salisbury it passes through the towns of Downton, Fordingbridge and Ringwood as well as the villages of Odstock, Nunton, Charlton-All-Saints, Hale, Woodgreen, Turmer, Ibsley, Kingston and Sopley. It ends at Christchurch.[1]
The path is waymarked and can be walked in either direction. The path crosses the Clarendon Way and Castleman Trailway. It passes through the western edge of the New Forest.
