Where you’ll find it…

Find the main pedestrian entrance on Princess Marina Drive, Arborfield Green, nearest postcode RG2 9GR. Grid reference SU 77656 65779. What3Words: altering.relate.jetliner. Limited on-street parking nearby, but no dedicated car park.

There are other pedestrian entrances on Commonfield Lane, Peartree Close and both sides of the road at Biggs Lane. At the far end, there’s a footpath that links with Nine Mile Ride Extension, via a footpath that starts next to Arborfield Green Leisure Centre at What3Words: poorly.bravery.commenced.

N.B. We’ve given the nearest postcode, but recommend using the links to look up the exact location. The centre of a postcode may be up to half a mile from your destination.

What you’ll find there…

Great greenspace for the development at Arborfield Green, where Arborfield Garrison and the School of Electronic & Aeronautical Engineering once stood. Now thoughtfully laid out to encourage wildlife, with wildflower meadows, wildlife ponds, hibernation areas and an impressive bat barn! The perfect place for local people to get a breath of fresh air.

For longer walks, there is a good link to California Country Park via the California Way, a public footpath starting close to the Commonfield Lane entrance at What3Words: breezy.originate.alone.

And by the way, if you happen to notice that the stream has turned orange, this is perfectly natural. It’s an iron rich stream, similar to the one at Rook’s Nest Wood.

Note: Dog walkers may like to know that to complete the circuit it’s necessary to cross the moderately busy road at Biggs Lane twice. There may be limited drinking places – there are areas that are seasonally wet and streams have rust-red, iron-rich water. There are some shady areas.
