Overview

A 4-mile circular walk taking a long but scenic route to town, through lush parks, along a short section of the Thames Path as the river flows gently down to London, crossing it to tranquil green islands, and following a navigation section of the River Kennet. Red kites and mute swans by the score, and then some more. Plenty of toilets. Lunch  in a supermarket café, or picnic at nearby outside seating.  Should finish by 15.30
!!!  No booking required, just turn up.
