We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Leaving the Bowlers Arms car park we head along Enborne Street to Wash Water then, after crossing Andover Road, walk along Penwood Road to Horris Hill.
Passing through the school grounds we continue wending our way across Newtown Common, past Arbuthnot Wood and reaching Adbury before turning back to Newtown. From Newtown we will walk alongside the A339 before crossing it to walk up through Sandleford Park to Warren Road, cross the Andover Road again and then return to the Bowlers Arms via Battery End and Blossom’s Field.
The route includes fairly extensive sections of road walking with varying amounts of traffic and appropriate care. Great care will be needed when walking alongside the A339. However, most of the route is quiet, there are no stiles but there will be some mud.
Parking is by kind permission of The Bowlers Arms. Please park nearest the car park entrance. The pub will be open for refreshments on our return.
