Overview

The walk starts at Silchester Playground Car Park and heads up into the Benyon’s Enclosure and around Kiln Pond. From here we trek our way to the Decoy Heath nature reserve. Then we cut across Tadley Common to pick our way through Pamber Forest and back to the starting point. The walk is mostly flat with a few inclines but much of the walk is along uneven forest paths lined with tree roots. At the moment the ground is dry but be prepared for muddy conditions.
