Circular Routes

The walking routes displayed here are Circular Routes. Unlike Linear walks, or "Slow Ways", Circular Walks finish back where they started...but because the walks are circular, you can of course start them from anywhere along the route.

We try hard to make sure that all our walking routes keep you away from traffic as much as possible and take you through all the most beautiful and interesting places around Henley-on-Thames.

Perhaps not the shortest route between Henley and Goring but certainly the most interesting with many unique sights along the way.This route takes you through the beautiful villages of Stoke Row, home of Maharajah's Well, and Checkendon, home of the famous Nuba Survival scuplture. There are several quality pubs along the way including the Rising Sun at Highmoor, the Cherry Tree in Stoke Row and the Highwayman Inn in Checkendon so you will never be far from refreshments on this all-day adventure.
