Overview

This "old favourite" starts from Crookham Common car park and skirts round the north-east side of Greenham Common before dropping down to the Kennet and Avon Canal via Chamberhouse Farm. Turning east, we head towards Chamberhouse Mill before turning south to climb to Crookham Common and George's Farm. Our route back to the car park is via the River Enborne, Headley Ford, and Crookham Common. There is one bridge over a culvert where a warning notice states that it may be unsuitable and an alternative route should be found, but at the time of the recce it did not appear any more dangerous than walking on the towpath.
