We start our chocolate journey in a village not so far away…(and battle Galactic forces to make our way to Henley over the next 7 miles!)

Advance booking is not required, but if you plan on attending this walk, please indicate this on Meetup if you can, so others can see that there will be plenty of people going.

Pace: medium.

Walk details

(To the tune of Star Wars opening theme music.)

It’s back! The chocolate café series has returned to the cold dark winter of 2024/25!

It is a period of chocolate deprivation. Evil forces have conspired to deny our walking heroes the chance at chocolate happiness.

Landing up in Wargrave, our walkers must venture through the fields leading up to Cockpole Green, and then pass through Hatchgate Farm before briefly braving the traffic of Remenham Hill.

Our walkers must then race through Woodside Farm and Remenham Hill to the Henley Chocolate Café endpoint to seek solace with a warm chocolatey drink!
