Elvendon priory walks

The Ridgeway the other way. The National Trail from North-East to South-West. The fourth stage is a broad track for a considerable distance, mostly with a natural surface and few hedges. Here the sky dominates but it can be particularly exposed in wet, cold or hot weather.

On this walk, you will be able to visit the Goring Gap, oldest road, charcoal burning, beech woods and bluebells, a Maharajah's well, bangers and mash, red kites and a nature reserve.

A hilly walk from the River Thames through bluebell woods to the hospitable village of Theale in the Kennet

A varied walk. Some gentle hills at first with good views across the open countryside. The second half of the walk is along the Thames Path. Some boggy sections to be avoided. There are no stiles but one awkward footbridge to cross.

After crossing the railway and descending the steps to the river bank this is a level walk on a good path along the banks of the River Thames, between trees at first then opening out. Nearer Reading there are benches along the Thames promenade, ideal for a picnic on a sunny day.

After passing through the shady woods and well-tended farms of the beautiful Chiltern Hills enjoy the extensive views over the Thames Valley, before descending to the twin villages of Whitchurch and Pangbourne. This walk passes through some of the beautiful beech woods of the Chiltern Hills. This area of outstanding natural beauty is within easy reach of London, and an ideal location for a day out away from the stresses of everyday life. The footpaths in this area are well looked after by the Chiltern Society, and discreet arrows on the trees depict the rights of way.

A varied walk passing through the lovely Chiltern countryside with its old churches in unspoiled villages, wooded slopes and glorious views.

A level walk on good paths with plenty of wildlife along the River Thames and River Kennet, passing through some of the older areas of the town.

Lovely walk along the Thames from Reading Station to The Flowing Spring pub.

On this walk enjoy stately home and deer park, a windmill and a well-known vicar, red kites, Chiltern villages and hospitality scenic views, and a regatta town.
