First mentioned in historical records dating back to 844 under the name Pegingaburnan\u2014which translates to &#8220;The Stream of the People of Paega&#8221;\u2014Pangbourne has a rich and varied history. During Norman times, the village was linked to Reading Abbey, with its manor house serving as the residence of the abbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - House in Pangbourne by the train station\" class=\"wp-image-9278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Pangbourne has been home to several notable figures, including Sir John Davis, an Elizabethan mathematician, and Kenneth Grahame, the beloved author of &#8220;The Wind in the Willows,&#8221; who spent his final years here. The village also houses significant memorials, such as the war memorial designed by Vera Waddington and the Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel at Pangbourne College, which was inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II in March 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Whitchurch Lock on the River Thames\" class=\"wp-image-9279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne-2.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne-2.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Pangbourne-2.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Starting your walk, exit the train station and turn right onto Station Approach. Cross over Shooter&#8217;s Hill and take the alleyway directly ahead, which leads to the banks of the River Thames. Follow the towpath until you reach a bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-whitchurch-on-thames\">Whitchurch-on-Thames<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Our walk takes us across a notable landmark\u2014the Whitchurch Toll Bridge. Constructed in 1792 by local residents, this bridge is still operational today, though it has undergone three significant restorations since its original construction. The most recent restoration in 2014 returned the bridge to its initial design, featuring a striking white-painted structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Bridge.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Toll bridge over the River Thames\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"9280\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9280\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Bridge.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Bridge.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Church.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Church\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"9281\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9281\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Church.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Church.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The toll for the bridge is 60p, or 45p for frequent users, but it&#8217;s free for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. After crossing the toll bridge, turn right onto a tarmac path clearly marked &#8220;Thames Path and Footpath to the Church.&#8221; Following the signs, we soon come upon St Mary the Virgin Church. Founded in the 9th Century by early Christian Saxons from Hwitcurke, the church was expanded in the eleventh century and served the parish through the Middle Ages. It was seized by Henry VIII during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, though worship was allowed to continue. The building underwent modifications again in 1857 and 1901.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-columns wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-columns\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:60.13247%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Old Wind Mill\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"9284\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9284\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-2-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-2-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Cottage in Whitchurch\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"9285\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9285\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:39.86753%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - House boats on the Thames\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"9282\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9282\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-4.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-4.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Leaving the footpath, you&#8217;ll return to High Street. As you proceed up the road towards Hartslock Bridleway, the sidewalk ends, requiring you to walk on the road until you reach the bridleway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#6dbd225c\"><strong>Contenu connexe<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/fr\/walk-in-berkshire-the-goring-streatley-circular\/\">Circulaire Goring &amp; Streatley<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hartslock-bridleway\">Hartslock Bridleway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">At first glance, the Hartslock Bridleway might seem like any other path, but its history sets it apart. Originally known as The Tuddingway in the thirteenth century, this bridleway has long been a vital passageway. As you reach an intersection, where the tarmac road curves to your left, you&#8217;ll face a staircase with a compelling backstory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-5.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Hartslock Bridleway\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"9288\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9288\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-5.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-5.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-6.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Hartley Steps sign post\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"9287\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=9287\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-6.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Whitchurch-6.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">These steps were constructed in 1993 to improve access for walkers and horse riders on the steep slope of the Harslock Bridleway. When the path was incorporated into the Thames Path in 1996, visitor traffic increased significantly. By 2011, however, the steps had deteriorated and were removed by the council, leading to numerous accidents among walkers and cyclists and making the area somewhat notorious. The community&#8217;s response was led by a local resident, Eric Hartley, who spearheaded a 16-month campaign to restore them. Following a serious incident on the slope, the campaign successfully culminated in the installation of new steps and a handrail. In recognition of this effort, the staircase was aptly named the Hartley Steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hartslock-nature-reserve\">Hartslock Nature Reserve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In May 1912, Charles Rothschild, a banker and accomplished naturalist, laid the groundwork for what would eventually become the Wildlife Trusts. His mission was to identify and protect critical wildlife habitats. Rothschild considered including Hartslock Wood and its surrounding areas in his network of nature reserves, but the onset of WWI halted these plans, leaving the habitat unprotected. It wasn&#8217;t until 1975 that local residents banded together to establish the area as a nature reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Thames.jpg?resize=500%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Thames behind the branches\" class=\"wp-image-9289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Thames.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Thames.jpg?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Covering 4 hectares, this reserve is particularly notable for harbouring a rare hybrid orchid, a cross between the monkey orchid and the lady orchid.

We ascend the first hill of our journey, where a welcoming bench at the summit offers a perfect spot for a rest. Take a moment to catch your breath and enjoy the expansive view over the valley and a glimpse of a railway bridge arching majestically over the River Thames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#6dbd2233\"><strong>Contenu connexe<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/fr\/goring-gap-walk\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"9956\">Goring Gap Walk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-chiltern-way\">The Chiltern Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Once refreshed, it&#8217;s time to resume our journey. From the bench, make your way down to the gate and turn right onto a secluded footpath nestled between dense shrubs. The path eventually leads you to a working farm. Here, you\u2019ll turn left onto a country road. Note that there isn\u2019t any pavement, so you\u2019ll be sharing the road with occasional vehicles. However, traffic is sparse in this serene area, allowing you often to safely enjoy the charming experience of walking down the centre of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Chilterns-Way.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Countryside Road\" class=\"wp-image-9291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Chilterns-Way.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Chilterns-Way.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Chilterns-Way.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Chilterns-Way.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">At this point, our route intersects with the Chiltern Way, an extensive 177-mile loop that encircles the Chiltern Hills, starting and finishing in Hemel Hempstead. This path is divided into 15 manageable day walks, providing ample exploration opportunities. We&#8217;ll follow this trail for about 1.35 km, leading us towards Coombe Farm, where the landscape opens up to reveal fields and the quintessential English countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Coombe-Farm.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Coombe Farm\" class=\"wp-image-9292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Coombe-Farm.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Coombe-Farm.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Coombe-Farm.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Coombe-Farm.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-way-back\">The Way Back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As we close our loop, we make our way back towards Whitchurch, passing through the pastoral landscape of Coombe Farm. As we arrive near the main house, we veer left onto a path, soon encountering a quaint kissing gate marked by a signpost. This gate is a portal from one verdant field to another, leading us toward the leafy enclave of Beech Wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Did you know? The Chilterns boast the largest concentration of beech woods in the country, and we have just traversed one of these stunning examples!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Cows.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Cows\" class=\"wp-image-9293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Cows.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Cows.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Cows.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Cows.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Beyond Beech Wood, we approach a cow farm. While the cows graze peacefully, we continue along a footpath running parallel to the fence, sparing us the need to cross through the fields. This path provides one last pastoral view before meeting the B471, signalling our return to civilization and the nearing end of our journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Strolling down the B471, we soon reach a war memorial. Here, the pavement ends, and we cross to continue towards Whitchurch. A short walk from here brings us back to the village, where you can retrace your steps to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Memorial.jpg?resize=500%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pangbourne Circular Walk - Memorial\" class=\"wp-image-9295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Memorial.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pangbourne-Circular-Walk-Memorial.jpg?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">If you\u2019re not quite ready to leave, consider extending your visit with a stop at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegreyhoundwhitchurchonthames.co.uk\">Greyhound<\/a>.
