We are the North Hampshire Downs Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Theale Bridge CP the walk initially follows the Kennet & Avon Canal (0.5mls) before taking a more southerly route from the canal via Sulhamstead, Ufton Green, Padworth, Padworth Mill and then onto Aldermaston Wharf (6.5 mls). There will be short break during this period but the main break will be at the tea room at Aldermaston Wharf. The walk then follows the canal back to Theale Bridge (4mls).
The tea room at Aldermaston Wharf should be open for tea/coffee/ cakes/sandwiches. The plan is to stop here for at least some refreshments/food. However, please bring additional refreshments/food.
May be toilets at Aldermaston Wharf.
Graded as a leisurely walk as essentially level but length is 10.5mls.
Terrain was good for time of year with not too much mud but expect some.
Coming up from Sheffield Bottom towards Theale on Hangar Lane, the CP entrance is immediately before the traffic lights (20metres) and on the right. Note not the sailing club entrance.
