River Kennet & Poulton Downs

We will follow the River Kennet to Mildenhall (pronounced Minal!), taking a short detour to admire the old school building, then continuing beside the river to Axford.  We then head up onto the downland, taking a track along Sound Bottom and to Well Ground Copse.  Plenty of tree cover here if it is warm! Then over Poulton Downs, with good views, before heading down (with more great views) to Ogbourne St Andrew and its wonderful church with a Bronze Age burial mound in the church yard!  Then finally on to Ogbourne Maizey and back to the cars.  Two refreshment stops.
