We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk starts from the Whitchurch Silk Mill car park from where we wander through the village before heading north-west taking tracks and footpaths across fields and through woods to Egbury and then Binley, subsequently dropping down to our anticipated lunch stop at St Mary Bourne. Leaving St Mary Bourne we cross water meadows to join a short section of the B3048, passing the Vitacress Watercress Beds before returning to Whitchurch via Cowdown Copse. Given good weather, the route should provide some excellent views.
For those interested, there should be time, after the walk, to visit the Whitchurch Silk Mill which is open until 5.00pm on a Sunday. The Silk Mill Riverside Cafe is also open until 4.30pm on a Sunday and serves excellent home-made cakes!
Please bring sufficient food and drink for the day and ensure you have adequate wet weather gear in case of rain.
Numbers are limited to 18 walkers you are requested to book your place via the link below.
Please meet in the small car park on Winchester Road, by the Silk Mill.
