The River Itchen (previously also known as the River Alre) is a river in Hampshire, England. It flows from mid-Hampshire to join with Southampton Water below the Itchen Bridge in the city of Southampton. The river has a total length of 28 miles (45km), and is noted as one of the world's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, especially using dry fly or nymphing techniques. The local chalk in the earth provides excellent filtration and thus watercress thrives all along the Itchen valley in its once pristine, crystal clear waters, now affected by pollution by some farming practices. It is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is noted for its high quality habitats, supporting a range of protected species including the endangered water vole,otter, brook lamprey and white-clawed crayfish.
Hampshire is the largest county in South East England and remains the third largest shire county in the United Kingdom despite losing more land than any other English county in all contemporary boundary changes. At its greatest size in 1890, Hampshire was the fifth largest county in England. It now has an overall area of 3,700 square kilometres (1,400sqmi), and measures about 86 kilometres (53mi) east–west and 76 kilometres (47mi) north–south.
The Hampshire or Hampshire Down is a breed of sheep which originated around 1829 from a cross of Southdowns with the Old Hampshire breed, the Wiltshire Horn, and the Berkshire Nott, all horned, white-faced sheep — these were native to the open, untilled, hilly stretch of land known as the Hampshire Downs.
History
John Twynam, a Hampshire farmer, crossed his then-Hampshire flock with Cotswold rams in around 1829. The resultant half-bred rams were compact and blocky animals and from around 1835 were sold into six or more of what were to become the first recognised pedigree Hampshire Down flocks in the United Kingdom.
The Southdowns had long dark brown or black legs, matured early, produced the best of mutton and a fine quality of medium wool. The original Hampshire was larger, coarser, but hardier, slower to mature, with inferior flesh, and a longer but coarser wool. The Southdown had always been remarkable for its power of transmitting its special characteristics to its progeny by other kinds of sheep, and hence it soon impressed its own characteristics on its progeny by the Hampshire. The horns of the original breed have disappeared; the face and legs have become dark, the frame has become more compact, the bones smaller, the back broader and straighter, the legs shorter, and the flesh and wool of better quality, while the superior hardiness and greater size, as well as the large head and Roman nose of the old breed, still remain. Hampshires of the 1890s matured early and fattened readily. They clipped from six to seven pounds of wool, suitable for combing, which was longer than Southdown wool, but less fine.
Hampshire is a station on the Port Authority of Allegheny County's light rail network, located in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The street level stop is located on a small island platform in the middle of Broadway Avenue, through which The T travels along former streetcar tracks. The station serves a densely populated residential area and also the neighborhood's small but crowded business district. It is located in an area where bus service is limited because of the hilly terrain.
The Weirs Walk is located in Winchester City - A charming old town in Hampshire, England. The Weirs walk is a small pathway that runs along a fast flow stream of river Itchen.

WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE at BISHOPSTOKE ( RIVER ITCHEN)
This is another video in my series “Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode I take a 5 mile walk that follows a splendid path alongside the old Itchen Navigation Canal heading North & then returning over wide meadows close to the River Itchen coming back South.
As well as exploring the old locks & bridges of the canal, I got to experience some stunning views of the countryside and I came across a few surprises along the way.
Coming back into Bishopstoke (my starting point), I did a detour into the lovely woodland walk at the new retirement village being built at “The Mount”.
I parked my car in a road called "Riverside" (Grid Ref SU465194 Nearest post code : SO50 6LQ)
Once again I was blessed with glorious sunshine for this relaxing & calming walk.

WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE at SHAWFORD DOWN & THE RIVER ITCHEN
This is another video in my series “Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode I undertake a 2.5 mile circular route from Shawford Down (just North of Eastleigh in Hampshire).
After parking my car at the car park (Grid Ref SU467248) just off Otterbourne Road (a B road that runs parallel with the M3 motorway) on the side of Shawford Down, I firstly explore a WW1 wooden cross memorial before heading across the Down to the main War Memorial, from which I enjoy some stunning views over the Twyford valley.
I then head down in to Shawford, passing by a “famous” railway bridge, and along Bridge Lane (that follows the railway line North). After checking out the site that once was Compton Place, I join the River Itchen (at Compton Lock). My route takes me back South ...

The scenic River Itchen in Hampshire
1st July 2011 on the River Itchen between Winchester and Southampton. The fishing was very good for James and Duncan and they both caught a number of large and small Brown Trout and some Grayling. Plenty of fish were rishing and the fish were mostly taking small dry flies - Parachute Adams and Tups Indispensible. Guided by Dave Martin of Go Fly Fishing UK.

WALKS IN HAMPSHIRE : OVINGTON & ITCHEN STOKE (RIVER ITCHEN)
This is another video in my series “Walks in Hampshire” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode I am the village of Ovington which is about 2 miles West of New Alresford & 5 miles North East of Winchester.
I take a short circular route of just over 2 miles to the North & West of the village – crossing the River Itchen to explore the little hamlet of Itchen Stoke.
Starting at the Church of St Peter in Ovington, I wander through the village admiring the beautiful thatched cottages & timber framed buildings, making my way South towards the Bush Inn (where I had parked my car).
After crossing the River Itchen (in full flow after recent rain), I walk along a path between the river & a mill race towards another small bridge which takes me to Itchen Stoke where I get to explore th...

I was filming on a glorious sunny morning in mid November and the Autumnal colours of the leaves on the trees (gold, brown & yellow) where quite magical to see.

The River Itchen (previously also known as the River Alre) is a river in Hampshire, England. It flows from mid-Hampshire to join with Southampton Water below the Itchen Bridge in the city of Southampton. The river has a total length of 28 miles (45km), and is noted as one of the world's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, especially using dry fly or nymphing techniques. The local chalk in the earth provides excellent filtration and thus watercress thrives all along the Itchen valley in its once pristine, crystal clear waters, now affected by pollution by some farming practices. It is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is noted for its high quality habitats, supporting a range of protected species including the endangered water vole,otter, brook lamprey and white-clawed crayfish.

The Test and Itchen rivers in Hampshire are two of England’s 224 chalk streams — cold and mineral-rich waters vital for fish ... on these rivers first,” she said, referring to the Test and Itchen.
Luckily, crews pulled the three people from the 20ft deep River Itchen, Hants, before they were swept away ...Police vehicles parked on Cobden Bridge, Southampton on Thursday after three people were reportedly pulled from the River Itchen in Hampshire.

Southern Water said it came close to breaching the legal limit of what it could abstract from the Tess and Itchen rivers in Hampshire because its allowance was tightened in 2019, meaning it had to apply for a drought permit late last summer.
