A 20s and 30s Ramblers group.
Ahead of this years' Christmas Meal we will go for a walk around the parks and meadows near to central Newbury!
Advance booking is not required, but if you plan on attending this walk, please indicate this on Meetup if you can (see Website link), so others can see that there will be plenty of people going.
Pace: medium.
Walk details
From the north side of Newbury station, we’ll start off by walking through the Market Square before walking alongside St Nicholas's Church to follow the canal towards the Monkey Bridge. After crossing it, we’ll then walk through Northcroft Park towards Moor Lane, which we then continue along through the water meadows. After some time, we’ll get back to the Kennet & Avon Canal, which we’ll walk along a little bit of it before following the dirt path towards the Enborne Road. Once there, cross over it to the field, which you then follow around to the footpath down the middle of the next field. Walk down this footpath to go up the hill, then at the top of it, turn left to follow the footpath alongside the bushes to come downhill again towards the school. From here, start heading back towards central Newbury station via Bartlemy Road and City Park, arriving back in good time for the Christmas Meal, which will be held at The Newbury pub on Bartholomew Street.
