Overview

Starting at the Jonathan Hill car park on Newtown Common we will cross the common  and walk through the Herbert Plantation before reaching the Burghclere Road. We will head south on the road till we reach the Brenda Parker Way which we join and head eastwards. Leaving the BPW we continue east past Whitehouse Farm and then north to reach Brock’s Green.

After Brock’s Green we head generally north west past Adbury Farm and return to Newtown Common and the car park.
