Overview

The walk starts from the town side (north) of Newbury station. We’ll walk through Victoria park, pass the Vodafone HQ and through the Donnington Valley golf club. At Snelsmore Common we will head back towards Newbury and stop for lunch at Donnington Castle on the way. The pub stop will be at the Hatchet. At this point you can leave the walk or continue on the second half. This will consist of walking along the Kennet and Avon Canal, which we cross at Enborne Bridge and return to Newbury along part of the Lamborn Valley Way. 

There will be an optional pub social at the end.
