We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We leave the village pond and walk through the west of Aldbourne village to join the B4192, a minor road, which we then follow before turning left to join the Aldbourne Circular Route at New Barn, passing the Giant's Grave and a Roman field system, as we head gently uphill to reach the outskirts of Upper Upham. The route then drops down past the site of the medieval village of Snap, before climbing gently to Snap Farm, following which, it undulates past Round Hill Downs, Chase Wood, Moore's Wood, Oak Stagger and Cottage Copse. We return to the cars via Green Pond, Pentico Wood and Southern Copse, passing the site of a Roman building on the way.
There are two stiles in reasonable condition, but will be slippery when wet. Furthermore, walkers are reminded that this is is a country walk and hazards such as (but not limited to) low branches, rocks, loose stones, chalk, roots, brambles, deep puddles, mud, nettles, brambles, and fallen branches may be encountered.
Please park considerately in Aldbourne village square and meet at the village pond.
Numbers are limited to 18 and hence you are requested to book your place on the walk, before 6.00pm on Saturday, 29th November, using the link below.
