 | RG20 7JN SU 455774 About ten miles from Newbury via the B4494 Wantage road. Four miles after passing under the M4 turn R for Peasemore, and you come to the pub in 2 miles more. Under new management since March 2013, the Fox has shaken-off the Hounds following it. It remains a lively pub next to the village cricket ground, serving real beers. Good light lunch and fuller menus are offered, but ONLY THURSDAY TO SUNDAY. |
Go up the lane by the side of the pub and at the end of the copse
in about 600yds, take the FP L that leads down through fields, kinking to the L at the bottom of the hill, and on to the Newbury-Wantage road. Turn R then
immediately L up a track to Brightwalton Holt, following the track as it bends round to the L and then
for 1000yds forward to Leckhampstead, bearing R where the track divides. Pass the curious war memorial and the now-closed Stag inn then opposite a turning to the R, take a FP on the L that passes an old chapel, then veers R between wire fences to a gate, and drops through fields to the road. Cross this
and take the field path SO up the hill. This meets a track that shortly comes out on the lane from
Newbury. Turn L for about 1200yds to reach the pub.
