Greenham & Crookham Commons – circular walk

Recently revisiting Greenham after many years, I found this easy, flat walk pleasant and interesting and hope you will too 😊. Some things to see are great views from the control tower, some wooded areas, wild flowers, heathland, grassland, sometimes foxes, butterflies, sometimes cattle and various Cold War debris.
Meeting place: Thatcham Train Station car park (uses Apcoa app).
Start time: 10:30 am
Distance: approximately 7 + miles.
