Autumn Equinox walk

Join us for a sacred autumn equinox walk up St Catherine's Hill, where we'll climb wooden steps to the Iron Age hill fort and mysterious mizmaze, reflecting on the year's efforts and harvests.

As we ascend together, we'll contemplate what we've worked for, celebrate what we're ready to reap, and release what no longer serves us as we enter the darker half of the year.

This gentle 1.5-mile circular journey includes a steep stepped ascent but offers spectacular views over Winchester and the surrounding countryside.

Important info

We'll meet at 10am in the small car park off Garnier Road (near the Handlebar Cafe). What 3 words: ///rules.digitally.saunas. Please arrive on time and bring suitable clothes for the weather.

Our walks go ahead in most weather - after all, connecting with the seasons means experiencing them fully - but may have to be cancelled or postponed at short notice in extraordinary circumstances. If this is the case, you will be emailed to advance and offered a full refund. 

About Wild & Witchy Walks

Rediscover an ancient relationship with the landscape. One that our ancestors understood intimately, but we've forgotten along the way.

Based in and around Winchester, Hampshire, our walks aren't really about covering ground; they're about uncovering the stories, folklore and seasonal wisdom that live within our local landscapes. From the whispered legends tucked into ancient woodlands to the healing rhythms of the Wheel of the Year, we explore how nature has always been our greatest teacher.

What makes these walks special

Our routes celebrate the diverse habitats that make this corner of Hampshire so enchanting, from sacred groves and hidden springs to ancient hill forts and meandering chalk streams. Each walk is carefully chosen to offer both natural beauty and deeper meaning, connecting you to the seasonal cycles that have guided human life for thousands of years.

Who they’re for

If you've ever felt that tug towards something deeper when you're out in nature, these walks are for you. We welcome anyone curious about folklore, drawn to seasonal living or simply seeking meaningful connection with both landscape and like-minded souls. You don't need any special knowledge, just an open heart and a willingness to see the world through ancient eyes.

You'll leave feeling more connected to your local area, with stories to remind you that magic is alive in every hedgerow, stream and hilltop, waiting for us to slow down enough to notice.
