Overview

A 6.8 mile circular walk along country lanes and footpaths north to Crowsley Park, the former home of the Baskerville Family and now a BBC monitoring station, though the house is privately occupied.  From here, our most northerly point, we return south to the Flowing Spring via Binfield Heath.  A moderate walk with a few hills which includes the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and far reaching views across the Thames Valley.  Lunch will be at The Flowing Spring - please be prepared to pay with  cash rather than by card.
