Overview

Starting at the Greenham Common Control Tower we will walk across the old runway and eastwards to Crookham Common then turn down to Goldfinch Bottom. We cross the Thornford Road and then A339 to walk alongside the River Enborne past Bishops Green WWTW. 
After passing through Bishops Green we reach Sydmonton Common and make our way eventually to Aldern Bridge and, after recrossing the A339, head back to Greenham Common where we will walk clockwise round the old runway and back to the control tower.
