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

The route of this walk takes us west along the Kennet and Avon Canal from the Rowbarge pub in Woolhampton as far as Colthrop Bridge, where we cross the canal and the railway to continue north over the A4 past Colthrop Manor and King's Farm to the village of Midgham. From there we walk through Midgham Park and past Hallcourt Farm on our way back to Woolhampton. The canal towpath is flat, and the rest of the walk is gently undulating.
Conditions underfoot should be dry and firm, but please take note of the weather forecast on the day and dress accordingly, with sturdy footwear. We shall need to take great care when crossing the A4 at Colthrop, but traffic lights will make life easier when we recross the road in Woolhampton at the end of the walk. Please bring a snack/drink for a mid-walk break. Numbers for this walk are unlimited, so, if you'd like to join us, please book online before 6.00 pm on Monday 29 September.
Please park at the Rowbarge pub off Station Road in Woolhampton, using the further car park of the two and car-sharing if possible.
