This popular walk starts from the NT car park located off Pinkneys Drive, Maidenhead and heads through the woods (famously used by notorious highwaymen until the early 1800's) and farmland towards Burchett's Green beautiful conservation area. We then head towards Ashley Hill through the agricultural college land and ascend the path surrounded by a wonderful woodland. At the top of this highest point in East Berkshire sits the Keepers Lodge and a trig point is located in the garden of the house. From here we follow one of the several paths to Pudding Hill for fantastic views of the surrounding countryside before heading to Warren Row village and a short stopover at the popular cafe. We then head through a country lane to Juddemonte Farms (horse racing empire) and link up with Knowl Hill bridleway to head back to Stubbings Lodge and the car park.
Distance approx 8-9 miles - moderate, total ascent 719 ft, some hilly sections to set the heart pumping!
We shall have a short lunch break so pls. bring packed lunch, snacks and water.
