Today’s evening walk will be at a leisurely pace along the Kennet & Avon Canal from Newbury to Thatcham. From Newbury station, we’ll walk through Newbury Market Square to Northbrook Street, where we’ll turn right onto the Kennet & Avon Canal. This’ll take us past Victoria Park and a couple of marinas before passing Thatcham Lakes towards Thatcham, where we’ll finish the walk. For those who want a pint at this point, we’ll be stopping off at The Swan, which is right next to Thatcham station.
