Overview

We head out of Wash Common past the water tower and descend to the Kennet & Avon Canal.

Walking westwards along the Canal we pass Guyer's Lock and Higg's Lock before turning southwards at Benham Bridge to reach the Enborne Road and proceeding (carefully!) to join Church Lane.

Our route passes Two Cocks Farm before joining the Berkshire Circular Route just north of Avery's Pightle and returning via Skinner's Green and Wash Common Farm.
