Fleming Park to Southampton Circular

This 16 mile route is slightly undulating and uses cycle paths and quiet roads, leaving from The Pavilion in Fleming Park, Eastleigh; it heads out on wooded cycle paths to Valley Park, North Baddesley and Rownhams. On reaching the city boundary it enters Lordshill and follows cycle paths to Lordswood Estate and then enters Southampton Sports Centre, where there is an optional café stop. After leaving the sports centre the route crosses two major roads and then enter Southampton Common, where we ride on wide paths down to The Cowherds or The Hawthorns for another possible stop for refreshments. The route then returns to Eastleigh, through Portswood and through Riverside Park to Woodmill and Mansbridge. Then follows a cycle path up Wide Lane to Lakeside Country Park and continues up Stoneham Lane to finish back in Fleming Park.
