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

We head south-east from the car park at Bury Down before turning south to walk beside the Gallops at Hodcott Down, subsequently joining the Downland Village Riding Route to reach Old Street. The route then takes us through High Robins to Furze Lane and on to Farnborough, where there will be time to view the memorial window to John Betjeman at All Saints Church. Field paths then take us back to West Ilsley via Starveall Farm and Harcourt Farm before skirting round the north side of the village to climb gently back to the Ridgeway.
Please bring sufficient food and drink for a coffee break and picnic en route.
Parts of this route are exposed, so please dress according to the weather forecast.
This walk is limited to 18 walkers so you are requested to book online by 6.00pm on Saturday, 21st June using the link below.
Please meet at the Bury Down car park.
