Overview

We leave Henley not via the Thames, but through the rolling Chilterns, on the way stopping to appreciate the elegant Knollys tomb in Rotherfield Greys. At lunch there'll be the option to visit the Loddon brewery for refreshment, before we take the Thames path into Reading, ending at the brand new Siren craft brew bar. Please bring a packed lunch. Tap Yard stop at lunchtime (for drinks only), with a bar at the end.
