Overview

Tonight's evening walk will give us some wonderful of Newbury as well as the surrounding countryside. Starting the north side of Newbury station, we’ll start off by walking through the Market Square before walking alongside St Nicolas’ church to follow the canal towards Northcroft Park, which we walk through towards the water meadows. After some time, we’ll arrive 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 to get the views of Newbury, and then at the top of it, we'll follow the footpath alongside the bushes to head towards the school and towards Newbury. From here, we'll start heading back towards Newbury station via City Park to finish the walk. For those who want a pint at the end of the walk, we’ll be visiting The Dolphin, which is close to the station.
