 | RG18 9DS SU 492722 About five miles from Newbury. Take the B4009 through Long Lane, and take the turning L 350yds after the filling station. The pub is 3/4 mile along this road, on the R. Quite an upmarket pub/restaurant, but they serve good lunchtime snacks and have a full range of West Berks beers. |
Turn L out of the pub, and shortly L again onto a field path. After about 300yds turn L onto the crossing path.This approaches Copyhold Farm and keep R to follow the track ahead. Pass quarry workings on your L and go forward till you meet a track near the M4, where turn L. Continue for 400yds when it bears L away from the motorway and in 300yds at a T junction turn L. Shortly go half R through the hedge , and on meeting another track, go half L onto a path This goes uphill through woods, then downhill, emerging onto a field. Follow through this and the next to come out on a "residential" track in Curridge.If you turn L here it's only 200yds to the pub.
Otherwise turn R and follow the track for 250yds, ignoring a turn to the L, until you reach a metalled lane. Turn R and immediately L down this track and in 250yds turn L along the crossing track for a similar distance to reach the same metalled lane. Go forward again to a cross roads (whence the pub is 200yds on the L) but continue forward down Crabtree Lane for 300yds, then turn L for 150yds, then turn L again onto your outward path from the pub.
