 | RG26 5ST SU 565587 About ten miles from Newbury. Take the A338 towards Basingstoke, and after the Kingsclere by pass and the Sandford Springs golf club, take the second L turn signposted Wolverton Townsend. The pub is on the R about two miles down this road. An isolated country pub that has decent draught beer and serves good sandwiches and bar meals. Now under new management. |
Turn R out of the pub, then in about 600yds find a FP L along the side
of a garden, passing sheds to a stile into fields. Follow the FP forward for about 800yds when it goes L across a plank bridge
into a wood. In some 200yds the FP reaches a road, where turn L for 200yds to a gate on the R where a FP starts. Go forward,
keeping to the L of the fields, and go through a field gate on the L then bear right, passing some ponds and follow the FP uphill
between fences to emerge on a lane by a large house. Turn L and follow the lane past another house and a large spoil heap, and when
the lane turns to the L, keep SO along a FP. This is joined by a chalky lane coming in from the R. Follow the lane for about
400yds, then take a FP on the L. Follow this through a field and a gap between woods, then bear L in a field and follow round the
L hand side of this around the back of a bungalow, cross the drive to this, and go forward down a wide grassy lane. Follow the FP
across a tussocky field to a rather high stile. From this, follow the track passing woods which after 700yds becomes a FP soon meeting a
metalled road. Turn L for 150yds, then R onto a track into the woods. Go L at an intersection, and follow round in a curve to the R
after which the track comes out past some cottages into Wolverton Townsend.
