Overview

Two Arborfields, Church ruins, Coombes and a cross. Starting in Arborfield Cross, we will head into Arborfield village, wander down an avenue of trees, inspect the old church ruins, and admire the River Loddon. We will then amble past the pastures of the diary research centre, veer off past Carters Farm, then meander up through the wilderness of The Coombes, then returning to our starting point via the Arborfield war memorial.
