Overview

A favourite walk in West Berkshire. From Rushell Farm we proceed towards the delightful village of Stanford Dingley. From there we walk along the Pang Valley up to Rotten Row. We walk through some mixed farm and forest until we reach the playing fields of Bradfield College where we will have our banana break. We cross the river Pang and then walk through Bradfield and then proceed to cross the river plain and the up the other side of the Pang Valley into forest and woodland until we return to the cars.
