Welcome to the Berkshire Walkers (BWs). The BW group is a part of the Ramblers, a national charity dedicated to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy walking in green spaces, and to improving Britain’s most popular and least-known walking places. The Ramblers are committed to campaigning to keep our countryside open to all and to fighting for the things that matter most to walkers. The Ramblers lead the way, and the walks, for a vibrant community united by the joys of walking, helping everyone get more out of their walks.
All participants of all group events are required to adhere to our Group Charter and Ramblers Values - https://www.berkshirewalkers.co.uk/conduct-and-safeguarding/
You can enjoy 3 taster walks with the Berkshire Walkers for FREE, after which you are required to become a member. Annual membership is exceptionally reasonable (just over £3.50pm on Direct Debit).
With membership, you can also join any of the other 500 Rambler groups, including other Berkshire groups and those nearby in Surrey, Sussex, Oxford, and Hampshire. What's not to like! Find out how to join here: https://www.berkshirewalkers.co.uk/join-group/
Groups are run entirely by local volunteers. Local group activities can include inspecting and maintaining paths, organising group walks or running local campaigns. Each group is run by an elected committee giving members ownership of what we do locally. We have over 100,000 members.
Please note: we list a full event programme on our website of walks, socials and trips: https://www.berkshirewalkers.co.uk/

Thames Path Part Six: Windsor to Marlow, 13.5 miles, Strenuous
Windsor and Eton Central Station, Thames Street, SL4 1PJ, Windsor, GBThe Thames Path is a 182 mile National Trail stretching from London to Gloucestershire. This year, the group will aim to cover the whole trail from start to finish! Following the success of our London legs, the following 4 walks in this series will take us through our humble county of Berkshire from Windsor to Goring!
To add some fun to our adventure, you are encouraged to purchase the Thames Passport where we will collect stamps at over 30 stamping stations along the Path. Collect stamps at all the various stations and you can receive a Certificate of Completion for doing the whole trail from start to finish! The link to purchase the passport is here: https://walkthethames.co.uk/thames-path-passport/
The first Berkshire leg of our Thames Adventure! Heading out of Windsor and Eton Central station, we will make our way down the hill into Eton and pick up the towpath where we previously left off, making our way towards Eton Wick and Boveney Lock.
We will pass the boathouse at Dorney Lake where the rowing took place at the London 2012 Olympics before making our way towards Dorney and eventually Bray Lock.
After passing through the lock and admiring the houses on the other side in Bray, we will catch a glimpse of the Waterside Inn then pass under two famous bridges at Maidenhead, Brunel’s Railway Bridge and Grade 1 listed Maidenhead Bridge which connects Maidenhead to Taplow. We will then arrive at Boulters Lock, the most famous lock on the Path, for lunch and our half way point.
After lunch, we will head on towards Cookham with the path passing the back of several fancy houses. We will also catch a glimpse of Spring Cottage at Cliveden on the other side, with the cottage a key setting of the Profumo affair in the mid-1960s.
After arriving in Cookham, we will have a pub stop at the Bel and Dragon and collect another stamp for our passports.
Following refreshment, we will continue through Cock Marsh and conclude this leg by crossing Bourne End Railway Bridge to make our way into Marlow.Saturday, 18 April 2026
