A 20s and 30s Ramblers group.
This nearly 14-mile linear walk starting at Newbury station follows the beautiful River Kennet to Theale village centre.
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 will start at Newbury station, where we will walk along the main road for a little bit before joining the River Kennet next to Victoria Park. From here, we walk along the footpath alongside the River to take us through Thatcham, Woolhampton and Aldermaston, and eventually ending in Theale. At the end of the walk, there will be the option to have a drink at The Bull pub on Theale High Street, which is easily accessible to the station.
Note: a short diversion away from the canal via road may be required in the Aldermaston area due to bridge maintenance, but this will not significantly affect the length of the walk.
