Driving to start: About 10 miles from Newbury up the B4009 towards Streatley.
Refreshments: The Bell is probably the finest old-style pub in the district. It serves proper draught beer, including West Berks and Arkells and quite often has mild. Excellent filled-rolls at a very reasonable price. Justifiably, it collects CAMRA awards year by year as the best real ale pub in Berkshire.
