Circular walks
We've designed 12 circular walks, which explore the history and wildlife of the Blackwater Valley, along the borders of Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire.
The walks vary in distance and accessibility and encompass all aspects of the Valley.
They introduce the many nature reserves, country parks, woodlands and meadows which can be found in the area.
