Best walks from North Camp

North Camp Station to Crowthorne Station

The valley's signature route along the waymarked Blackwater Valley Path, mainly flat beside the River Blackwater through parks, meadows and the edge of Yateley Common, with a hillier final stretch to Crowthorne.

15km.

Farnborough North requires crossing the A331 concrete bridge; the final Sandhurst-to-Crowthorne section is unsigned. Do not cross the railway by any bridge.

Lunch: Cafés and shops at Crowthorne, at the end of the longest option.

5km.

Lunch: The Swan pub on the route.
