Greywell Walk January 2019

This a circular walk around the village of Greywell, Hampshire.

The Pub, the Fox & Goose is on The Street, Greywell, near where you will park.

From their website in 2020:

We offer a "pre-walk" ordering service where you can reserve a table, order your food and drinks before you leave providing us with your estimated time of return. Your food and drinks will be ready for you shortly after your return. 
 
We are also happy for walkers to use the car park and restroom facilities if they intend to pop in for lunch or a drink after their walk.

Car Park

This walk starts on the The Street, Greywell. We parked on this road - there are no yellow lines but park sensitively for the home-owners.

The Route.

1. Starting somewhere near the lychgate for St Mary's church head left (if you're standing outside the gates looking at the road)

2. Head up The Street (The St.) as it becomes Nately Road, passed Upton Grey Road, Take the left fork = White Lane.

3. You'll pass farm buildings but the lane will become a bridleway.

4. Stay on this until it becomes a cross-roads of bridleways. Turn right - this is actually a named lane  - Down Lane, but was a very muddy track when we were there in January.

5. Your path will be on the right down the boundary between two very open fields.

6. At the end of this field carry on directly - following the left hand boundary of the field in front of you - cross the farm track at the end of the field and continue on the path directly in front of you.

7. Continue to the end of this next field there's a house on the left with a tennis court - and beautiful snow drops in January - you might see St Stephen's church in front of you - and you're heading there - follow the path through a small wood to Greywell Road and have a rest at the church.


8. Leave the grounds of St Stephens and continue down Greywell Road. (if you're standing on the grounds of the church you should head down the road to the right).

9. About 100 metres you'll see your path on the left. The path curves to the right at the end up to the bend of Heather Row Lane.

10. Continue up Heather Row Lane until the road bends to the right in front of you. The path continues into a wood through a kissing gate.

10.  The path emerges near the top of a grassy hill - your ultimate destination is at the bottom.

11. Take the path down the slope towards the wooded corner.

12. Follow the path down - a steep slope on the right of the path is fenced off.

13. This path ultimately emerges onto The Street - turn right to return to your car further up the road.

This is a lovely short-ish walk of about 4 miles from Farley Hill to Arborfield Cross and back via Great Copse / Castle Hill.  This walk initially follows the same route as a previous Farley Hill to Henry Street Nursery walk from this site but this variation changes the walk because of the opening of the new bypass in 2020.  This route does not go to Henry Street!

Aldermarston & Padworth College Circular Walk, November 2020

 This a circular walk from Aldermarston Canal Wharf and around Padworth College. The walk is about 3.2 miles and took us about 1.5 hrs. There isn't a pub on the route but the Kennet & Avon Canal Wharf Visitor Centre has a cafe. Car Park This walk starts on in a small car-park at the back of the Canal Visitor Centre on Wharfside. We found parking was limited and there are only a couple of streets nearby where you can leave your car. Aldermarston train station is nearby over the road on Station Road but was empty when we went during Lockdown 2 - we assume its the locals not wanting to pay the parking charges. The Route. 1. From Mill Lane, looking at the school take the right-hand of the two stone tracks, passing the school on your left. The stone access track leads you between a number of houses and then on through a tunnel of trees. Continue past the trout farm on your right and, immediately after this, turn right onto the signed public footpath which leads you between tall fenc...
