Brisk walk from Pangbourne and its companion Whitchurch, on the other side of the River Thames, passing on a toll bridge over the river, with the route continuing through Great Chalk Wood to Goring for lunch. In the afternoon the walk continues along the Thames Path with a diversion to visit Hartslock National Nature Reserve. There is a long hill at the start and several more undulations. Hartslock is very small but a steep there-and-back. There are toilets located on Platform 2 at Pangbourne, but use toilets on the train if possible.
Lunch: at Goring where there are plenty of pubs, tea rooms and food shops (also public toilets).
Train/transport details: London Paddington 09:38; Reading 10:24 (GWR Didcot Parkway train).
