You'll see Sandleford Warren, the Enborne River, Nuthanger Farm, Watership Down, Efrafa, the Railway Arch, and the grave of Richard Adams himself."
The route is easily accessible from Newbury station (I started outside and finished the Royal Oak Pub). 75% of the course is on farmers paths and nature trails, with other sections sharing quiet roads. Spotted wild deer, cows, hares, birds of prey on route- very peaceful and picturesque. An outdoor tap can be found at the Whitchurch Cemetery for water top-ups.

Hello Simon, great idea for a route. I bet the countryside is lovely. Did you complete the 38.9 miles out and back, or one way?
Sorry, scrap that, I now see the route is out & back.
Hi Mike. Sorry for the late reply- I'm still working out how to use the website!
Give it a go! I had a great day out. If you were to go in one direction, I would recommend Eccinshaw back to Newbury, as it has some good climbs and some satisfying downhills.
Sorry Whitchurch to Newbury.
