A walk on Finchampstead Ridges looking at the history, nature and topography of the area. We visited this area last year on our July ramble.
From the National Trust website -: "The Simon's Wood Trail passes through an area of woodlands and lowland heath providing an increasingly rare habitat which supports life for many birds and invertebrates. On this walk, you can explore the views, flora and fauna of the broadleaved and coniferous woodlands, the naturally created Heath Pond and the rare delights of a heathland habitat. We'll walk on well defined paths through woodland and over heathland." We will of course, look at the geology! There may be some muddy patches and there is a short gentle downhill section before climbing back up again.
Potential for a pub visit afterwards!
Meet at the National Trust car park for Simon's Wood, Wellingtonia Avenue, Finchampstead RG45 6AE Ref: SU 812 636 w3W: curly.clustered.decreased
