My Hundreth Walk! Midgham Circular, 5 miles, leisurely
Details
This will be the 100th walk I have led for the Berkshire Walkers!
Pace: medium.
Type: circular
Walk details
Starting from Midgham station (confusingly this is in the village of Woolhampton) we will cross the canal and skirt around the lake/flooded gravel pit. From there, it’s across the fields to the village of Brimpton. We pass the historic church, and from there, head on to Holdaway’s Farm, while enjoying fine views across the West Berkshire countryside. Finally, we will join the Kennet and Avon Canal at Midgham Lock and follow the towpath back to Woolhampton for a well-earned drink at the Rowbarge.
