Overview

The walk starts at Nuffield and takes us out over tracks and fileds to Ipsden Heath and then west towards Well Place farm. We then walk through woods at Berrins Hill and Braziers Common before reaching Stoke Row and the Maharajas Well. Leaving here, we cross through Bush Wood,and Highmoor Common Wood to reach Nettlebed. After lunch, we will go to the Magpies and along Digberry Lane, again into the woods, to join the Ridgeway back to Nuffield across the golf course, stopping on the way at The Maker Space for coffee/ tea and cake if wished.

The walk will be undulating in places and we should still get some Bluebells in the woods, fingers crossed.
