Walk the Test Way eight miles for Mountbatten Hampshire Click here to take on a challenge in 2026! It's today! Follow our blog. CLICK HERE to see the latest updates (don't forget to refresh)! In 2025, Walk the Test Way for eight miles, from Horsebridge to Romsey in Hampshire, to raise funds for Mountbatten Hampshire. What is the Walk the the Test Way eight mile route? Much of this route follows the course of the old Andover to Southampton railway line, otherwise known as the 'Sprat and Winkle'. Pass the John of Gaunt pub, before continuing past one of the few remaining old railway stations, 'Horsebridge'. The station was closed in the 1960s as part of the Beeching closures and is now privately owned. On to Lower Brook, cross the meadows and finish this section on grass tracks at the famous Mottisfont Abbey. This is a National Trust property whose walled kitchen garden holds the national collection of old-fashioned roses. Then onwards to Romsey's Memorial Park, where there'll be a warm finish-line welcome and a medal!​ How to sign up to Walk the Test Way First... Set up your fundraising page Next...
