Features

This walk is a mix of beautiful, rolling Chilterns countryside, forest trails and quiet country lanes. This is a spring to early autumn walk. The best time to do it however is probably late April or early May when the foliage of the beech trees is at its most vibrant and where there should be good displays of bluebells and other spring flowers in some woods. Sections of the trails through woods will be muddy after rain.

Its a circular walk, and is best done anti-clockwise, so the walk instructions are written to reflect this.

There are very short but safe stretches along potentially busy roads. There are three pubs en route before you reach Goring. At the end of the walk there is Pierreponts, a lovely, friendly tea stop by the River Thames in Goring. It closes at 5pm on Saturdays (not open on Sundays) so you need to pace the walk accordingly (or catch an earlier train!)

This walk takes a completely different route to #SWC.17 . Before lunch the route intersects in some parts with #CW1.4 and #SWC.170 .
