Overview

Meeting at Warren Farm, we walk via tracks and permissive path and foot path to Beechdown Farm, then east to Grange Farm and Eastbury Grange, then south by tracks and  footpath to Earthworks by Winterdown Bottom and Gallops, before turning north to reach the summit of Washmore Hill at 207 meters. Then follow tracks and metaled farm lanes back to Warren Farm.

Wear suitable clothing in case of cold as the ANOB (Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty) is quite exposed to any prevailing weather.

The post code is not too accurate in this location. So additional directions are to go north out of Lambourn on C class road take the left fork at Isbury Farm / Drove Farm, pass College Farm and onto the Woodland Burial Site at the Red Barn at Spot Height 213, bear right then right again over Stancombe Down then left into car park by Warren Farm (noticing the red (rust) cut-outs in steel of sheep). Toilets are available at Warren Farm.
