A 20s and 30s Ramblers group.
This 10.5 mile circular walk from Nettlebed takes us past Greys Court (National Trust) through Kingwood Common past Stoke Row then back into Nettlebed.
Advance booking is not required, but if you plan on attending this walk, please indicate this on Meetup if you can (see Website link), so others can see that there will be plenty of people going.
Pace: medium.
Walk details
We start our walk in Nettlebed which, from medieval times up until the 20th century, was the major centre for brick, tile and pottery manufacture in Oxfordshire. Heading towards Greys Court, now owned by the National Trust, we then make our way to Kingwood Common and on to Stoke Row – home of the “Maharajah's Well”, which we won’t be visiting on this occasion but is well worth a visit if you’re ever in the area again. To finish our walk we head to English Farm, home to some very impressive English Longhorns, before turning east to head back to Nettlebed.
