Overview

A gentle circular walk through the nature reserve of Burnham Beeches with a chance to experience some lovely autumn colours.

As on our walks here at Burnham Beeches in recent years, the walk leaders will be arriving at the walk start point earlier before the official start to enjoy some coffee and bacon rolls. Please feel free to join from 10am if able.

After coffee/rolls, we will set out from the main Lord Mayor’s Drive car park towards the south part of the nature reserve towards the middle pond. We will then pass the remains of an old settlement before heading along some of the main roads of Burnham Beeches and passing the main Moat of the reserve.

We will then briefly depart the main part of Burnham Beeches and head into Dorney Wood and Littleworth Common before heading through Egypt Woods. After a brief bit of road walking, we will return to the main bit of Burnham Beeches via Dukes Drive before making our return to the main car park via the Beeches Way.
