Overview

 This walk heads out from Moulsford to the Thames Path, which is followed into Wallingford where we have a quick look round the market place before going through Winterbrook and around the diversion for the new housing estate. We now follow the path alongside the Cholsey and Wallingford railway. (Sorry, no steam trains running.) After reaching Cholsey, we take the track for our ascent to Lollingdon Hill where we will get some good views over the downs and after reaching Breach House, we descend back into Moulsford over fields.

On the walk we will pass a number of sites associated with Agatha Christie. It is mainly level with limited shade, so please be aware of the weather on the day.
