Walk

Booking Required Circular easy Limited Spaces (15) Walk

This is circular route around the outskirts of Bramshill House and Park.

Walk details

We start in the car park opposite the White Lion Antiques, postcode RG27 8AE (within the overflow car park, turning left as you turn into Hare’s Lane from the A30.) From here we walk up the lane towards Hazeley Heath. We stop for lunch by a lovely duck pond before we continue on to Warren Heath. Bramshill House (now a Police Staff College) is a magnificent Grade I listed Jacobean mansion built in the early 17th Century. This walk circles the outskirts of this house and it’s grounds and on a good day we can catch glimpses of this stunning building. At end of the walk we have the option to stay for a cuppa at Tea rooms at White Lion Antiques.

Travel details

There is free car parking in the overflow car park opposite the White Lion Antiques. As you turn into Hare’s Lane from the A30, take the first immediate left. Note: if you see lots of garden sheds you in the correct place!

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.

Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)
