 | About fifteen miles from Newbury. Go through Headley or Brimpton, past the
front of AWE, SO at the roundabout then first R to Mortimer. The pub is on the L in three miles. A good place for sandwiches and hearty pub meals. They serve decent beer, including Brakspears. (Changed hands in October 2006). |
From The Turners, go back towards Newbury, cross the road
and take the FP on the L. This drops steeply downhill and meets a track where turn R and follow up past farm buildings,
over a crossing track, and down to meet a metalled road. Turn L and shortly L again on a track labelled 'Weak Bridge'.
Go slightly downhill then up taking a L then a R at the top to emerge on the
road by the Calleva car park. Take the FP that joins the anticlockwise circuit of Calleva and follow the path passing the church on the L. Go forward on the lane, perhaps visiting the Amphitheatre, and
in about 200yds take a FP on the L. This leads across a field and downhill through a wood, emerging into an often
soggy field. Cross this to the end of a lane, which follow uphill past a stud farm. About 150yds after joining a
metalled lane, take a FP on the L that crosses a field back to the pub.
