Overview

Starting from Simon's Wood, we walk through the woods, then around Finchampstead Ridges, and through the Moor Green Nature Reserve. We then walk around Horseshoe Lake, and a gentle uphill along the Three Castle's Path back to the start.

Slightly undulating, first half of the walk is a gradual downhill to Horseshoe Lake, second half is a gradual 3 mile uphill back to the car park.
