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

Parts of this route might be remembered from two walks I lead during the year and some of it is different. The route includes quite long stretches of quiet road. As it is also Remembrance Day we will stop at a frequently passed memorial for our own act of remembrance.
Leaving the Falkland Cricket Club we will walk along Enborne Street and Cope Hall Lane before turning to cross fields and the A34 and onwards to reach Church Lane, Enborne. We will then head into Hampstead Park and stop at the memorial to the 501st Parachute Regiment for a period of remembrance, hopefully at 11am.
After our stop we will cross Hampstead Park and after reaching the Hampstead Marshall crossroads we’ll continue up the quiet road to Holtwood. Here we will head along the road to Red Hill and on past Enborne Street Farm before taking a bridleway to Bourne Farm then continuing along the road to Wash Water and returning to the cars via footpaths and Enborne Street.
Please bring refreshments for a break after our act of remembrance.
The starting point is about 5 mins walk from the bus stops in Villiers Way served by the No 2 bus from Newbury Bus Station.
Please book online by 6pm on 10th November.
Park at Falkland Cricket Club/ Bowlers Arms. Please park nearest to the entrance gates so as not to block the parking closest to the pub. The Bowlers Arms will be open for refreshments (and other useful facilities) when we return.
