The walk starts in the pastoral scenery of the Thames at Pangbourne, crosses into Oxfordshire, and heads east along the Thames Valley (not on the Thames Path) to the old village of Mapledurham. From here the walk goes up through woods and pastures offering beautiful views to the village of Whitchurch Hill (where there will be a stop at The Sun for drinks / toilets only). The return will be via Whitchurch to Pangbourne. Please bring a picnic lunch. Refreshments are available in Whitchurch or Pangbourne at the end of the walk.
