We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Leaving the car park, we head across Crookham Common before dropping down to join the Kennet and Avon Canal at Thatcham, which we then follow to Midgham Lock where a mid-morning break is anticipated. Then a short stretch of road walking takes us to field paths, which climb gently to Brimpton Church, passing Holdaway's Farm en route. We then make our way to Arundell's Copse, Inwood Copse, and Oxford Bridge to reach Ashford Hill where we join the Brenda Parker Way, following it to Goose Hill. There then follows a short stretch of road walking before we drop down through Stoneylands Copse to follow the River Enborne to Headley Ford. One final short but steep climb then takes us back to our cars.
There are two stiles, one of which is a very narrow squeeze stile.
Some sections of the route are normally muddy and one section of about fifty metres had standing water which had to be carefully negotiated so walking boots are strongly recommended.
Please bring sufficient food and drink for the day.
This walk is limited to 18 walkers and you are requested to book your place online using the link. Please do this by 6pm the evening before the walk.
Please meet at Crookham Common car park
