Walk details

This walk will lead from Pangbourne to Springs Farm and out to Purley Rise. We will follow the road down to Beech Road where we will follow the woodland. We might stop for lunch at the crossroads there. There we will come out of the woodlands at the top of Pierces Hill, Tilehurst. From that point we will do a loop back through Purley on Thames back through to Purley Rise, past Beech Road and follow the road back to Pangbourne. This is a leisurely walk - it might be muddy at the start but then it will descend into woodlands and then back to the road to Pangbourne. It is a relatively flat walk with no hills.
