This summer sees the return of the South Downs Rambler bus linking Winchester and Petersfield Stations, enabling passengers to enjoy the beauty of the countryside along the South Downs Way. 

This popular bus service will run every Sunday until 15th September this year. Criss-crossing the course of the South Downs Way, it enables passengers to hop on and off the bus throughout the day and enjoy one of the south's best loved long distance footpaths. It leaves the A272 at West Meon Hut and takes in Exton, Old Winchester Hill, The Sustainability Centre, Butser Ancient Farm and Queen Elizabeth Country Park.

If you are looking for breathtaking views, visible prehistory, fine pubs and pretty villages with easy access to the South Downs Way and rail links at Winchester and Petersfield the South Downs Rambler is the Sunday bus route for you.

Drivers on the South Downs Rambler have considerable local knowledge and will be delighted to offer guidance.
