Description
20 safe walks for all the family in the beautiful Berkshire countryside. Simple, short, stimulating and packed with fun things to see and do.
The routes are all circular, with not too many hills and climbs (some are suitable for buggies) and vary in length between 3/4 and 4 miles. There is plenty of variety with streams, nature trails, woods and wide open spaces in which to use up excess energy, and each walk features a stop for refreshments: from picnic sites to cafes and family friendly pubs.
Explore the nature reserve at Hungerford Marsh and the Moor Copse Nature Reserve at Tidmarsh, investigate the ruins at Donnington Castle and feed the ducks and geese at Thatcham Nature Discovery centre. Children can have fun and learn about natural history whilst getting plenty of exercise and fresh air.
