Overview

Slightly adapted from ramble 9 in the book 'Rambling for Pleasure along the Thames'.  The first half of the walk includes a gentle climb across Winter Hill golf course, farmland and a steady descent along a gravel track.  The second half of the walk is flat, walking beside the Thames before returning to the start point on Cookham Moor.
