Mapledurham
This is a wonderful walk in typical Chiltern beechwoods and green meadows
with a magnificent half-way objective in the Elizabethan Mapledurham House,
Church and Watermill, with the opportunity for an optional visit (with entry
charge). The return legs take you by three really first-class village pubs, each
full of character and with a tantalising trilemma for where to eat and drink
(booking may be essential - phone numbers below). The one at Peppard
Common, the starting point, is Antony Worrall Thompson's Greyhound. If you
prefer to see Mapledurham earlier in the morning with lunch at the midpoint,
start at Cane End where there is plenty of parking space, but note that the
House does not open until 2pm in case you want to visit.
The walk begins at Peppard Common, near
Henley-on-Thames, south Oxfordshire, post-
code RG9 5JA.
