Overview

This 4-mile circular walk goes beyond the London zones into one of the most rural stretches of the River Thames. We will start by exploring the pretty village of Goring, before carrying on to the river, walking along the towpath and through fields of summer flowers to reach the Hartslock Nature Reserve where we will have our lunch break (please bring food and drink). The reserve is on a chalk hillside with wonderful river views and red kites soaring overhead. Toilets at start and end only. Mudometer *
Should finish around 15.30
!!! No booking required, just turn up
