Bluebell Woods and Beenham Church Stroll
In my quest to stay at least mildy active after my return from WalkIslay 2009 and to slowly discover more of the area I live in I did something today I hadn't done so far: I ventured to the other side of the A4, towards Beenham. Not a long walk, more of a stroll, but it was certainly worth it. The first section wasn't too exciting, just a road past a factory. But once I started climbing the hill and reached an area called ‘Shrub Wood’ I was rewarded with these bluebells:
The early evening light was very nice, providing some beautiful colours. The fresh green of the new leaves, the carpet of bluebells on the ground, the trees, just wonderful.
I walked up to Beenham Church and cemetery, where I had a quick look around. From the church I briefly explored a footpath towards Oakwood Farm, but then decided to turn back and walked home the same way I had come.
After 1.5 hours I returned home, a nice stroll worth building on. Looking at the Ordnance Survey map #159 Reading, Wokingham and Pangbourne there seem to be quite a few footpaths in the area worth exploring. There are a few bank holiday weekends coming up...
