An easy walk starting from the Sheffield Bottom swing bridge along canal then veering off towards Theale and the Englefield Estate, then back to Theale via North Street. Along the canal is all pathways mostly shaded with an odd section that drops close to the can near to a weir. Once leaving the pathways the remainder of the walk is mostly hard surfaced crossing sections of the A4 Bath Road and A340 Pangbourne Road. With grass areas through Englefield there are tea rooms on the Englefield Estate offering refreshments or a toilet stop.
Bring refreshments for an Eleven's mid morning stop
