Overview

This is one of our favourite walks on which you will (probably) see a variety of wildlife plus a 275 year old college. We use part of a West Berkshire Recreational Route and a short section of the River Pang which is a chalk stream at this point.

Note that there are a few short hills and possibly some mud.

The photos were taken on our pre-walk.
