Overview

We head along the footpath opposite the school to pass through woodland and eventually join the Lambourn Valley Way for a short stretch before branching off to pass Sole Farm and to enter Sole Plantation.

Carefully crossing the B4000 we take field paths to skirt Orpenham Farm and reach Windingwood Lane near Grey's Copse. Heading eastwards we recross the main road near The Five Bells and return to our start point.
