Pub walk - Harpsden to Binfield Heath

Image
3.5 mile walk. Currently the pub in question - the Bottle and Glass is serving coffee from a converted horse box in the mornings. In the afternoons & evenings the 'Burger Barn' is open for meals. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll from Harpsden to Binfield Heath, having a good stare at the (very) posh houses on the way. You could also just park at the Bottle and Glass and walk in the woods. https://www.bottleandglassinn.com/ Map of route Parking in a lay-by in a turning off Woodlands Road, coordinates 51.518962,-0.906785 Walked with Tony 02/05/2021
