Overview

Route: A leisurely-paced walk from the village of Shiplake through woods and fields to Binfield.  From there we go to Shiplake Church for the lunch stop and then return to the station on the Thames Path.  The walk is mostly flat with a gentle incline and descent.

Food: Picnic lunch only.

Travel: Elizabeth Line (calling at Bond Street 10.13, Paddington 10.17, Ealing Broadway 10.26 and arriving at Twyford 11.03).  Change at Twyford for 11.15 to Shiplake (Henley train).  NB, Freedom Passes are valid on the Elizabeth Line so holders need only purchase a return ticket from Twyford to Shiplake.
