The National Cycle Network provides huge benefits to health and wellbeing, with 4.4 million people using the network between 2017 and 2018. 786 million walking and cycling trips were made on the Network. As a result, £88 million was saved through reduced road congestion.
Route 224 runs directly through central Alton and connects to route 23 of the National Cycle Network. It takes you past farms, woodland and parks, offering splendid views of the Hampshire countryside.
