Steps down to Wickham Road

Highlight • Rest Area

Not the end of the Meon Valley trail, but a good point to divert (and explore the picturesque town of Wickham). About a dozen fairly steep steps down from the trail to a small green next to the road.

Wickham Station once stood on the site of the car park in Station Close. The Meon Valley Railway opened in 1903 and ran for 22 1/4 miles between Alton and Fareham, closely following the course of the River Meon. It was one of the last railways of any size to be built to main-line standards in the UK. The line took 5 years to build and was expensive to maintain, with long tunnels and chalk earthworks. Wickham was challenging for the navvies, with two river crossings and two road bridges to construct. There was little passenger traffic but it was a relatively busy station kept alive by freight. Its four goods sidings handled cattle and sheep from the weekly market and milk, and strawberry specials ran in the summer. The line was never profitable and the station closed to passengers in February 1955 and to goods services in April 1962.
