Length: 16.1 km (10 miles) 3 out of 10 T=1.1
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 0955 Twyford 1033.
Return trains are xx00 & xx30.
Lunch: The Stag & Huntsman (01491 571 227), in Hambleden. 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 The Chocolate Factory and Angel on the Bridge on your route to the station.

Given his 'photos taken on this walk are up on the website, there were at least n=2 on this walk. If there were more of you, please don't be shy in correcting this number.
N=7 in total on the walk in w=glorious-sunshine. An Elizabeth Line cancellation meant some arrived late and reversed the reverse ending to make a 12.30 lunch booking, and some arrived early! (Dont ask). The Flowerpot has reopened and was doing extremely good business both inside and out in its large garden, as was The Stag and the Chocolate Cafe. Five had Fish and chips at the Stag which all agreed was excellent. Reversing the walk is a most sensible idea.
