If you are feeling fit you could walk the whole trail in two days. However it would be much more pleasurable to spread it over several days or even a week, with overnight stops in the villages and towns along the way. A three day schedule with stops in the towns is:
- Salisbury to Fordingbridge with lunch in Downton (14.5 miles)
- Fordingbridge to Ringwood with lunch in Ibsley (8.5 miles)
- Ringwood to Christchurch with lunch in Sopley (11.5 miles)
