Saturday Walk - Henley Circular via The Great Wood (in reverse)

Length: 16.1 km (10 miles) 3 out of 10

This is a lovely walk, and by doing it in reverse (there are instructions for doing it this way), you have a short leg back to Henley after lunch. I would also recommend taking a different route back from Hambledon, using the instructions from the book 2 walk 7 ending via Aston & Remenham here, or just do the normal route along the river.

Trains: Get the 1008 Didcot Parkway train from Paddington arriving Twyford 1037 , where you change to the 1045 Henley train, arriving 1057 . Using the Elizabeth Line: Farringdon 0938, Ealing Broadway 0956 Twyford 1033.

Return trains are xx00 & xx30.

Lunch: The Stag & Huntsman (01491 571 227), in Hambleden, or the village shop. For picnics, the nearby church. The Flowerpot, on the alternative route back, is apparently open as a free house after refurbishment.

Tea: Various places in Henley, with Viv's (once The Chocolate Factory) and Angel on the Bridge on your route to the station. There is also a Weatherspoons and multiple other choices in Henley.
