This 11.5 mile walk takes us over the hills from Wargrave to Twyford via Knowl Hill & Waltham St. Lawrence.
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 day at Wargrave station from where we’ll work our way up through the village, out the other side and begin our first ascent of the day up Bowsey Hill.
Next we drop down into and through Warren Row before starting our second ascent of the day up Pudding Hill where we will stop lunch.
After lunch we climb across onto Ashley Hill where we can find ourselves a quick refreshment at the Dew Drop Inn before completing our ascent of Ashley Hill.
From here it’s mostly all downhill. We drop down off Ashleigh Hill into Knowl Hill where If we are lucky and it’s a clear day you might be able to see one or all of Wokingham, Bracknell & Windsor Castle.
After lunch our path takes us between the holes of the Castle Royal golf club and across some farmland into Waltham St Lawrence. Here we have the potential to have a second refreshment stop at The Bell.
Our final leg takes us out of Waltham St Lawrence across some more farmland to drop us into Twyford.
Travel details

From Reading catch the 09:59 train, changing at Twyford onto the 10.15 train which arrives in Wargrave at 10.19.
The walk leader will be travelling on the 10.15 train from Twyford so if this is delayed the start of the walk will also be delayed.
Note: A return ticket to Wargrave should cover you to return from Twyford at the end of the walk.
By car
Parking is available at either Twyford or Wargrave stations where charges will apply.
As this is a linear walk, you'll need to either take a train back to your car at the end (if you park in Wargrave), or to the start of the walk (if you park in Twyford).
