This cycle ride from the South Downs ridge near East Meon follows tracks and quiet country lanes to West Meon, then along the disused bed of the Meon Valley Railway Line before climbing to Beacon Hill above Exton.
The return is via the South Downs Way and Old Winchester Hill. Fine views of the Hampshire Downs are your reward for the effort needed to climb both sides of the Meon Valley.
