King's Way

King's Way or the Allan King Way is a 45 mile long-distance footpath in Hampshire, England. This footpath was created by the Hampshire Area of the Ramblers' Association as a memorial to the late Allan King a former Publicity Officer who was partly responsible for the formation of a number of Groups in Hampshire. It runs from Portchester to Winchester.

The footpath is waymarked by metal and plastic disks found attached to wooden and metal posts, trees and street furniture. These have the words Allan Kings Way. Where the route coincides with the same route as other long distance paths the waymarking is not continuous. There is a free downloadable guide book to the route available on the Eastleigh Ramblers web site at http://www.eastleighramblers.hampshire.org.uk it is in A5 page format so if printing on A4 do not forget to print at 2 book pages per printed page. Do not forget to send the author feedback if there are any errors or amendments required to the guide book to keep it up to date.

This route is shown as a series of green diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps and as a series of red diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 maps.
