The footpath known as [[St. Swithun's Way]] has created a more pleasant route to Winchester than the modern road network which constitutes a lot of the Pilgrims Way.<br /> The southern suburb of Rowledge lies adjacent to the north western fringes of the [[South Downs National Park]]. [[National Cycle Route 22]] passes through Farnham, connecting it to Guildford, [[East Surrey]], [[Isle of Wight]] and the [[New Forest]].<ref name=NCR22>{{cite web|url=http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system/route-22|title=National Route 22|publisher=[[Sustrans]]|access-date=29 August 2012|archive-date=23 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823061205/http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system/route-22|url-status=live}}</ref>
