From Winchester City Mill, the route follows the towpath of the River Itchen through the grounds of Wolvesey Castle before emerging onto College Walk close to the junction with College Street, the location of Winchester College.The route follows College Walk across the river, turns right onto Domum Road and then continues onto the old track bed of the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway alongside the Itchen Navigation, eventually reaching the Hockley Viaduct.This was the last part of NCR 23 to be opened, following a lengthy restoration programme.
