We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Leaving the carpark, we descend West Woodhay Down to follow paths, tracks and lanes to the North and West of Walbury Hill. We head North and North West, towards Inkpen, passing over Inkpen Common, and to the North of Inkpen and Lower Green. Having walked through the grounds of Totterdown House, we turn South making for Ham. Here, we head South East and climb back up to the Mid Wilts Way, the Test Way and Wayfarer’s Walk via Ham Hill where, following those paths East, we continue along the ridge, passing Combe Gibbet to return to the carpark.
Unless there is significant rain before the walk, the going is likely to be good to firm. Vegetation is already encroaching over some of the paths and we are likely to encounter livestock. There is 1 stile in good condition.
Please bring sufficient food and water for the day. Having climbed Ham Hill, the last couple of miles of the walk are along a ridge, exposed in places, please be equipped for the weather conditions forecast on the day.
The walk is limited to 20 walkers, please book online by 6pm, Wednesday, 18 June 2025..
Please park at the area of rough ground (nevertheless regarded as a carpark) to the East of Walbury Hill – not the carpark to the West of Walbury Hill, nearer to the gibbet. Please car share as much as possible to limit our impact on the carpark.
