Description

The “obvious” route from Goring to Pangbourne is along the Thames Path: flat until the nippy rise and fall through Whitchurch. This walk avoids the river (and the demon cycle-speedsters who lay waste to the surface of the Thames Path and other routes) in favour of the hillier ground to the west. The route crosses the river at Streatley (hello, Jerome K Jerome!) and climbs, meeting Grim’s Ditch on the way, before turning east to Upper Basildon and the descent to the river at Pangbourne.
