Overview

This varied circular walk is largely flat with just 370ft of ascent. We start by heading towards Edgbarrow Woods Nature Reserve and Wildmoor Heath, before following the Three Castles Path past Broadmoor Hospital and crossing the Devil's Highway into Crowthorne Woods. We return to the station via Heath Lake and East Berkshire Golf Course. After the walk, there's the opportunity for coffee and cakes at the U Bakery, which is opposite the station.

Please note that the walk may be muddy in places. Please bring a packed lunch and drink as usual.
