This short, circular, morning walk explores the picturesque woods around Peppard Common, with a glimpse of the idyllic Tudor mansion, Greys Court.

Pace: gentle.

Walk details

Starting from the Unicorn pub, we will head north through Littlebottom and Greatbottom woods. After Satwell, we’ll head east along the road and through more woods, and then south past the National Trust property Greys Court – an idyllic Tudor mansion, though sadly we’ll be limited to the view from the path and won’t have the opportunity to look inside. Finally, we’ll head back down through Greys Green, and back to the Unicorn pub.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
