Walk

Linear Walk moderate public transport Walk

Meet at Marlow station for a 11:05 start, upon arrival of the 10:38 from Maidenhead. If coming from Reading, please take the 10:19 departure and change at Maidenhead (arr 10:32 dep 10:38). Please buy a return to Marlow and a single from Henley to Twyford.

We will begin by heading out of Marlow and towards the Harleyford Estate which dates back to the 12th century and has a Grade 1 listed Georgian manor house as its centre piece. After passing some golf club buildings we will head through a 75 yard long tunnel built by a one-time Lord of the Manor beneath Danesfield and towards Hurley Weir.

We will carry on to Medmenham before heading through open fields to Culham Court with panoramic views of the Thames Valley and into Hambleden where we will have a pub stop at the Stag & Huntsman.

The final leg of the walk will go through woodland and pass some Thames side water meadows before arriving in Henley where there is the option of another pub stop before catching the train.

Please bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink.

NOTE: This is a linear walk

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.
