We are the Berkshire Weekend Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A new walk that traverses the largely treeless plains of the Berkshire Downs. Flat as the Nullarbor desert except for one small pimple.
We start off from Cholsey Railway station and follow the now defunct old national rail line towards Wallingford. The line is now a tourist rail train but that runs in the summer months. As we near Wallingford we branch off and head eastwards through new developments before leaving town via Wallingford sports park. We then follow Mill Brook westwards and into South Moreton where we will stop for lunch in the pub surrounds. Leaving South Moreton we head due South to Aston Upthorpe and Aston Tirrold via Blewburton fort. Finally we head Eastwards towards our destination, Cholsey.
Please meet outside Cholsey railway station for a 10:10 start. The 09:53 train from Reading arrives at 10:09 and the walk will start soon after arrival. (Trains back to Reading after the walk leave at 13 minutes and 42 minutes past the hour.) The station car park costs £4 for the day.
The walk is largely on footpaths except for short sections in Wallingford and Cholsey. There will be a few short areas of mud but not to a great extent. Boots suggested. Please bring a packed lunch and drink, as usual.
Meet outside Cholsey railway station.
