We are the West London Ramblers, mainly covering Ealing and Hounslow, but open to all. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk takes us along a pleasant section of the River Thames. From Reading station, we quickly reach the riverside and make our way to the attractive village of Sonning via waterside parks and walkways, and then through a wilder wooded section. After lunch in Sonning we follow an unspoilt section of riverside between pasture fields to Shiplake Lock, and carry on around a pleasant loop of the river to Shiplake village and station. After a section through suburban Shiplake, the walk returns to river's edge for the last section across a meadow to the dramatic weirs of Marsh Lock, and through a riverside park into Henley.
Trains: 09.26 Elizabeth line from Ealing Broadway or 10.02 GWR from Paddington
